Laser eye treatment as an option for eye power correction has been in vogue for over two decades now. The first laser vision correction was performed in Germany in the late 80s, and since then, there’ve been major advancements that have improved the quality of the surgery in terms of safety and precision. While laser eye treatment is primarily used for correcting refractive errors, laser technology has been put to good use in cataract and retinal treatments as well.

EpiLasik or PRK is a form of advanced surface ablation that does not require the creation of a flap. (“Flap -Free Lasik”).

This popular form of “advanced surface ablation” reshapes the surface of the cornea through the process of removing the corneal epithelium right before the laser is applied to the underlying stroma.

An excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea. The risk of flap complications from the usual flap-based procedures are totally removed as there are no...
