LASIK
LASIK eye surgery (Laser Insitu Keratomileusis) is a highly successful and popular procedure for vision correction that has been available for about 18 years. LASIK is the quickest and most comfortable of all forms of Laser eye surgery.
Intralase is the most advanced LASIK eye treatment technology and allows surgery to be completely blade free. LASIK is used to correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
LASIK uses a specialized, precise, and computer-controlled corneal flap-making instrument, called Intralase, to create a thin corneal flap of corneal tissue. A surgeon gently lifts the corneal flap and uses the sophisticated Bausch and Lomb Z100 Laser to reshape the corneal by removing a small pre-determined amount of corneal tissue.
The surgeon places the corneal flap back down and within minutes; the flap naturally heals without the need for stitches. A specially designed soft contact lens is placed on the eye to protect the corneal surface overnight. This is important as it aids healing in the crucial initial stage.

LASEK
LASEK eye surgery (Laser Epithelial Keratomilieusis) is ideal for those patients whose corneas are too thin, steep or flat for Lasik.
The LASEK eye surgery procedure involves the epithelium or outer layer of the cornea being placed aside with the help of a dilute alcohol solution. Once the epithelial layer has been displaced, an excimer Laser is then used to reshape the cornea. Upon completion of the excimer Laser treatment, the epithelial layer is then returned to its original position. A bandage contact lens is placed over the cornea to aid healing for approximately four days.
