Lasek or Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis is similar to Lasik, except that the surgeon cuts a flap in the epithelium only, instead of through the epithelium and part of the stroma. The surgeon then loosens the edges of the flap with alcohol. Lasek is used mostly for people with thin or flat corneas who are poor candidates for Lasik, which requires more corneal tissue for success. It is a relatively new procedure; drawbacks include more discomfort afterward and a slightly longer healing time than for Lasik.
