LASEK & PRK Laser
Eye Surgery at My-iClinic

LASEK (Laser Assisted Epithelial Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy) are almost identical vision correction procedures.

LASEK & PRK eye surgery only differ in how our laser specialists remove different layers of the cornea. In LASEK eye surgery, the top layer of cells is simply moved to one side and replaced after surgery, whereas the PRK surgery removes them completely.

Both LASEK and PRK surgery procedures use a laser to reshape the tissue on the surface of the eye to achieve clear vision.

Consultation

Our laser treatments are the most technically advanced options for people who want the latest and greatest vision correction option to treat any blurriness, astigmatism and short-sightedness.
 
When you visit us for a private consultation, our laser specialists will conduct a number of eye tests in order to examine all the factors involved in correcting your eyesight. Prior to your appointment, we will advise that you do not wear soft contact lenses for two weeks.
 
If you wear hard contact lenses, we advise you not to wear these for a minimum of two weeks (including a week for every decade you have worn hard contact lenses). This is to ensure the cornea of your eye is ready for measurements to be taken accurately.
 
Your laser specialist will then be able to offer the best possible course of treatment to correct your vision. Your first consultation will be an all-inclusive cost of £200 which includes scans, with no obligation to have treatment if you wish to have some time to consider your options.

Treatment

On the day of your LASEK or PRK surgery, we advise that you do not wear any makeup or perfume and be accompanied by a relative or friend who can assist you home afterwards.
 
When you arrive at your appointment, you will be shown into our private laser suite, where our friendly nurses will talk you through the procedure.
 
They will place a small drop of anaesthetic on your eye and provide you with support for your eyelids, so there is no need to worry about blinking.
 
After you are comfortable and relaxed, your laser specialist will give you easy, simple instructions throughout the process to make sure your laser treatment is smooth and accurate.

Aftercare

There is nothing more important than our patients feeling comfortable after their laser treatment – which is why your dedicated laser specialist will check your eyes 1 day after your surgery.
 
Once they check your vision, they will advise you to rest for 1 week before resuming any exercise, driving or strenuous activities.
Our team will always be at the end of a phone call throughout your recovery at home to answer any more questions you may have about your life after laser treatment.
 
In your aftercare appointment, your laser specialist will check the improvement of your vision and answer any other questions you may have before you can finally experience your new life without contact lenses and glasses!

What is LASEK and how is it different to other surgeries?

LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems such as short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure involves gently loosening the thin outer layer of cells on the cornea, moving them aside, and then reshaping the underlying tissue with a precise excimer laser. After treatment, the surface layer is repositioned to aid healing and comfort.

LASEK is often recommended for patients with thinner corneas or those unsuitable for LASIK, offering clear and stable vision without creating a corneal flap.

If LASEK is not the right procedure for you, our specialists may recommend one of our other advanced laser treatments, such as ReLEX SMILE, Presbyond, or LASIK treatment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding care from start to finish I am writing this review on behalf of Mr. Alan Nathan Gershon (Mr G), whom I care for. At 95 years old, he attended myiClinic London on 12 August 2026 for a YAG laser procedure, which was initially planned for his left eye only. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff was welcoming, kind, respectful, and professional. We were treated with genuine care and dignity throughout our visit. A special thank you goes to Ms. Bola Odufuwa-Bolger, the Clinic Director and Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon. Her patient-centred approach was exceptional. During the assessment, she carefully discovered that although Mr. G's left eye had the thicker after-cataract, his right eye was also affected. The procedure took much longer than expected, but she remained patient, meticulous, and determined to achieve the best possible outcome. After the procedure, she felt the left eye might need to be redone. However, by the very next day, Mr. G's eyesight had improved remarkably. He now enjoys a renewed lease of vision—he can even read without his prescription glasses, something that has made an enormous difference to his quality of life. We are also incredibly grateful to Catalina Tomulescu, the Ophthalmic Technician, whose kindness and support were wonderful, as well as every member of the team who cared for Mr. G. As his carer, I left feeling humbled by the compassion, respect, and professionalism shown to us. Mr. G is deeply thankful for everything the myiClinic team has done. Thank you all for your outstanding work—please keep doing what you're doing. You have given a 95-year-old gentleman the priceless gift of seeing the world more clearly again.

My-iClinic in Whetstone, North London is, quite simply, the best. I went there for a bilateral cataract procedure, and the surgical team's depth of technical expertise, professionalism, care and empathy are all beyond compare. The results speak for themselves, but I will also do so anyway: following the procedure, I now have vision better than at any point in my life to date, even with contacts. All my thanks go to Bola and her team. My advice: if you have vision issues, do not waste your time going anywhere else- go to My-iClinic and say I sent you!!

Our Most Important Benefits For LASEK & PRK

Thinking about LASEK & PRK It’s natural to have questions about what it can do for you. From vision improvements to advanced safety features, here are the key benefits and facts that will help you understand why more people than ever are choosing laser vision correction.

LASEK eye surgery (Laser Assisted Epithelial Keratomileusis) is a precise and trusted laser treatment used to correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. It’s a popular alternative to LASIK, offering the same excellent visual outcomes for patients who may have thinner corneas or are unsuitable for flap-based procedures.

During the treatment, the thin surface layer of the cornea is gently loosened and moved aside. The underlying tissue is then reshaped with an advanced excimer laser to help light focus correctly on the retina, resulting in clearer vision.

LASEK can effectively treat most common refractive errors, providing long-term visual stability and comfort for those looking to reduce or eliminate their need for glasses or contact lenses.

LASEK eye surgery works by carefully loosening and moving aside the thin outer layer of cells on the cornea before reshaping the underlying surface with a precise excimer laser. Once the laser treatment is complete, the surface layer is repositioned to aid healing and comfort.

This method achieves the same visual results as other modern laser treatments but is particularly suited to people with thinner corneas or those who may not be suitable for LASIK. LASEK offers a safe, effective way to correct vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

When LASEK is recommended, it’s often because your eyes require a more specialised approach than LASIK can provide. This may be due to thinner corneas, certain lifestyle factors, or other unique aspects of your vision. To determine whether LASEK is right for you, we offer a free suitability check where our specialists will carefully assess your eyes and explain the most appropriate treatment options for your individual needs.

The cost of LASEK eye surgery is £2,400 per eye, which includes all aftercare appointments with your dedicated laser specialist to monitor your recovery and vision improvement. We also offer 24 months of interest-free finance, making it easier to invest in your long-term eye health and enjoy clear vision for years to come.

Dating back to the 1980s, LASEK eye surgery has helped thousands of patients achieve clearer vision safely and effectively. Before the development of newer techniques like LASIK and ReLEx SMILE, LASEK was one of the most trusted forms of laser vision correction and it remains an excellent option today for patients with specific eye conditions, including thinner corneas.

Because LASEK does not involve creating a corneal flap, it’s also a preferred choice for people who play high-impact sports or lead active lifestyles, offering strong, stable, and lasting visual results.

People with thinner corneas are often excellent candidates for LASEK eye surgery, as it provides a safe and effective way to correct short-sightedness and astigmatism without the need for a corneal flap. During your free suitability check, our laser specialists will carry out detailed eye measurements to determine whether LASEK is the best treatment for you, helping you move closer to a life free from glasses or contact lenses.

After LASEK or PRK eye surgery, we recommend allowing around one week for recovery. You’ll be provided with soothing eye drops and clear aftercare instructions from our nursing team to support the healing process at home. During this period, it’s best to rest and avoid swimming, sports, or any strenuous activity until your follow-up appointment with your laser specialist.

Our friendly team is always available to answer any questions during your recovery. If you need advice or reassurance, simply call us on 0208 445 8877, and our patient care coordinator will be happy to help.
