ABSTRACT
Laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) combines the advantages of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) (1,2). Corneal haze seems reduced in LASEK compared to PRK. Several factors that could explain the reduction of the intensity of the corneal haze in LASEK technique include corneal epithelium replacement, alcohol epithelial debridement, and corneal stromal patching.
