LASEK
LASEK is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting myopia and astigmatism by removing the outermost epithelium of the cornea and applying laser treatment.
- - Though the process involves 3-4 days of discomfort and a slower recovery rate, it is considered one of the most conservative laser vision correction surgeries.
- - This procedure is especially recommended for individuals with thin corneas or those who wear thick glasses.
- - At SU Yonsei Eye Clinic, we believe that the journey to optimal vision extends far beyond the surgical procedure itself. It also involves the meticulous pre-operative evaluation and lifelong post-operative care that our specialized medical team provides.
- - This articulates the conservative yet effective approach taken by LASEK, and how our clinic ensures comprehensive care at each step.
