EPI Lasik Treatment
EPI Lasik Head (Safe, Effective, Permanent)
New vision Lasik Center is pleased to introduce Epilasik.
With Epilasik safe Lasik Procedure is even more safer. A
unique blade less instrument called epikeratome separated
the corneal epithelium to make a flap.
Epilasik is a new laser eye surgery procedure
▪ Device similar to a microkeratome (called
epi- keratome) slides over the surface of the cornea, just
underneath the epithelial layer of cells while suction is
applied.
▪ The result is a hinged sheet of epithelium that is at
least partially viable.
▪ It is reflected out of the way so that the ablation can
take place.
▪ The sheet is repositioned and a bandage soft contact lens
is placed on the eye.
▪ If you have Epilasik you'll likely experience some pain,
which is manageable with over-the-counter painkillers. The
pain is reportedly less than with PRK or LASEK.
