Surface
Epi-Laser
Surface Epi-Laser vision correction is a
low risk, laser procedure to correct visual errors such as
nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Epi-Laser with the Epi-K is an advanced
"surface ablation procedure" - the laser correction is done on the surface
of the cornea, rather than at a deeper layer, as in LASIK.
Epi-Laser involves separating the cornea's outer layer,
the epithelium from the Bowman's membrane, in a thin sheet that retains its
hinge on the eye creating a thin epithelial flap or cap. The surgeon uses an
epithelial separator, called an epi-keratome,
to separate the flap from the eye.
After the epithelial flap is made, it is lifted and
gently folded out of the way. An excimer laser is used to sculpt the
underlying corneal tissue. Then the epithelial flap is placed back on the
eye with a kind of spatula. A special contact lens is placed on the eye to
keep the flap in place while it re-epithelializes.
