Say goodbye to glasses and contact lenses. In a few short seconds with corrective laser eye surgery such as LASEK, we can forever change how you see the world. You will see clearly, without glasses, or with much weaker lenses. It's that simple. Millions of patients have had the procedure with great success, and more than 95 percent of people with mild to moderate sight defects can now see perfectly. Even those with very poor vision can enjoy a dramatic improvement.
The team at Goldberg Centre specializes in LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis), a type of laser eye surgery that has less than half the complication rate of LASIK, making it a safer procedure with no flap-related problems.
Why LASEK (versus LASIK)
LASEK is a form of Advanced Surface Ablation and is a safer procedure than LASIK. There is no cutting and no flap creation in LASEK, and it has a risk of complications half that of LASIK.
LASEK is the ideal procedure for laser vision correction for lifestyles where trauma is more likely. For instance, individuals who participate in contact sports such as hockey, football, and the martial arts, or have careers like police, firefighters and the militia, are typically better candidates for LASEK instead of LASIK.
For people who are not candidates for LASIK because their corneas may be too thin or they may have certain corneal problems, LASEK is the procedure of choice. Also, for people who have dry eyes, many find the dryness is worse after LASIK. This and the other high risks associated with LASIK can be avoided with LASEK.
