LASEK is a procedure for patients whose corneas are too thin, too dry, or have a shape unsuitable for LASIK. The LASEK procedure is quite similar to LASIK. In PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) an excimer laser reshapes the corneal surface; no flap is made in the PRK procedure. Clear lens extraction also corrects for nearsightedness and farsightedness by exchanging the body’s natural lens for a synthetic intraocular lens implant (IOL), and phakic intraocular lenses are used to correct refractive error too great for lasers.
