E-LASEK is a variation of PRK in which the surface epithelium is
dissolved using a diluted alcohol solution and moved over to the
side prior to the laser treatment. Once the epithelium is gently
moved, the expert hands of Dr. Donald Bennett guide the excimer
laser to precisely reshape the cornea. The epithelium is then repositioned.
A bandage soft contact lens is worn for the first few days following
the procedure until the surface heals.
Like most of our vision correction procedures, E-LASEK takes less
than ten minutes to perform and is virtually painless. However,
during the healing period there may be some pain or mild discomfort
and blurred vision. Most patients see well without glasses or contacts
after just a few days and are ready to return to a normal lifestyle.
Once a thorough evaluation is performed, Dr. Bennett will determine
which procedure is better suited for you, based upon your individual
eye findings. To find out more, or schedule your FREE evaluation,
