[LASEK--new laser refractive surgical technique. Personal experience].
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of refractive error correction LASEK.


METHODS
115 eyes were analyzed after LASEK. The eyes were divided into 4 groups (myopia, myopic astigmatism, hyperopia, hyperopic astigmatism). The follow-up has taken 3 months. The effectiveness of this method was evaluated on the basis of the best visual acuity without correction after LASEK procedure, compared to the best visual acuity with correction before LASEK. The course of the healing process, the state of cornea and subjective symptoms were also evaluated.


RESULTS
After 2 weeks in whole group the mean UCVA was in the same range of values compared with the BCVA before the operation. There were no postoperative complications observed.


CONCLUSIONS
On the basis of our own observations we can say that LASEK is an effective and safe method for correction of refractive errors.
