LASEK is a good option for any patients over the age of 18 who wants to eliminate or reduce their use of vision correction (glasses or contacts). Candidates for LASEK should have the same eye exam results for at least one year and cannot have any other eye conditions or diseases. LASEK may be a better option than LASIK for patients who have thin corneas or dry, itchy eyes. LASEK is also preferred over LASIK for patients at high risk of trauma or injury to the eye (athletes, police officers). We will help each patient determine if LASEK or another laser vision correction surgery (LASIK or SMILE) is best for their needs and goals.
