LASEK (Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It is a variation of the more commonly known LASIK procedure, and is used when the cornea is too thin for LASIK. During the procedure, a thin layer of the cornea is removed and replaced with a laser-created flap. This flap is then reshaped to correct the vision problem.
