What is LASEK?
LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) is an advanced laser eye surgery that combines the benefits of PRK and LASIK to correct myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism. This procedure offers several advantages over traditional laser eye surgeries, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an effective solution to their vision problems.
LASEK is particularly beneficial for patients who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK due to corneal thickness or other factors. It provides a safe and effective alternative with comparable results to other laser eye surgeries. Unlike LASIK, LASEK doesn’t involve creating a corneal flap.
Key Benefits of LASEK:
- Suitable for patients with thin corneas or large pupils
- Lower risk of dry eye symptoms
- No corneal flap creation, reducing the risk of flap-related complications
- Shorter healing time compared to other laser eye surgeries
- Ideal for patients at higher risk of eye trauma, such as athletes
- Excellent visual outcomes for treating short-sightedness and astigmatism

The Blue Fin Vision® No Touch LASEK Experience
At Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic in London, we utilise cutting-edge technology to ensure the utmost precision and safety during No Touch LASEK surgery. This advanced procedure, also known as Transepithelial PRK (TransPRK), offers excellent outcomes with a sophisticated approach to corneal reshaping.
Understanding No Touch LASEK
No Touch LASEK is a revolutionary ‘no-touch’ technique for surface laser treatments. This newer version of LASEK applies laser light directly to the surface of the eye, eliminating the need for manual removal of the surface layer. This advanced approach offers several benefits:
- Quicker Treatment: Both eyes can be completed in under 10 minutes.
- Reduced Risk: The ‘no-touch’ technique minimises the risk of complications associated with manual handling.
- Enhanced Precision: Direct laser application ensures highly accurate corneal reshaping.
The No Touch LASEK Procedure: Step-by-Step
Here’s a detailed overview of the No Touch LASEK procedure at Blue Fin Vision®:
- Preparation: Your eyes will be numbed with anaesthetic drops, ensuring a comfortable experience.
- Direct Laser Application: Unlike traditional LASEK, there’s no need for alcohol solution or manual epithelial manipulation. The laser is applied directly to the eye’s surface.
- Corneal Reshaping: An excimer laser precisely reshapes the cornea according to your unique vision prescription.
- Natural Healing: The epithelium naturally regenerates over the treated area, acting as a protective layer.
The entire procedure typically takes about 10 minutes for both eyes, performed under local anaesthetic. This is significantly quicker than traditional LASEK methods.
The Morning After...
I've been waiting to hit the one month mark before writing this review because I wanted to feel out the full experience and road to recovery so I can give my best help and advice to people considering it all. I've been absolutely THRILLED with everything and particularly with choosing Mr Mfazo Hove as my surgeon.
Pre operation and consultation was attentive and all explained very well to me. He showed me a video which at the time I sort of thought I'd rather have not watched but on reflection I think it was valuable to really have me understand and know what's going on both during the surgery and just in my general decision making. He answered all and any questions and never felt rushed or like he was trying to get through a "process" as quick as possible.
The surgery went very well. He was confident and reassuring without pandering too much or giving too much weight to my nerves. It felt swift but safe. The operation was 20-30 minutes to my memory but that's just a guess. It was certainly fairly quick. I was very nervous inside and the operation is certainly peculiar and a little uncomfortable conceptually but physically it was painless and at worst there was mild discomfort with your eye being held open. None of the laser or flap removal was painful (I got LASIK).
Already post op I could see but with blurred vision and I found it far more comfortable to keep my eyes closed and rest them. I went to bed that night and woke up to already have impeccable vision. It was less than 12 hours later and I went in for my check up and was reading better than 20/20 on my right eye and at 20/20 on my left eye (or maybe the other way round but the point is it was bloody good!).
The weeks that followed were interesting because, probably partially to do with such exceptional early results, I had some frustrations with slight blurriness here and there. I went in to see Mr Hove and he reassured me that it was just to do with dryness and a surface issue. It was reassuring to be able to follow up with him in person and be sure and, as predicted, my eyes are now feeling really solid at the month mark.
Overall, I feel the surgery is somewhat of a miracle. Of course we just live in incredible times medically but conceptually the fact I've been afforded perfect sight at the age of 30 having been wearing glasses all day everyday for a decade is the stuff of miracles. Looking forward to my (probably) final checkup and thanking Mr Hove as I go on to hopefully enjoy my vision for years to come.
Would recommend - 5 stars!!
Recovery and Results
It’s important to note that vision recovery after No Touch LASEK is slower compared to LASIK:
- Initial Recovery: The first 24 hours can be painful as the epithelium regenerates.
- Gradual Improvement: Most patients achieve significantly improved vision within a week, with vision continuing to stabilise over the following weeks.
- Long-term Outcomes: Despite the slower initial recovery, No Touch LASEK offers excellent long-term vision correction results.

FAQs
What is LASEK Eye Surgery?
LASEK (Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratomileusis) is a popular type of refractive eye surgery designed to correct vision issues such as near-sightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By reshaping the cornea, LASEK improves your vision, potentially freeing you from the need for glasses or contact lenses.
How does LASEK work?
The procedure involves the careful reshaping of the cornea’s surface. Initially, the top layer of the cornea is softened and gently moved aside. Then, a precise Excimer laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue, correcting the refractive error. The surface layer is repositioned, acting as a natural bandage during the healing process.
What are the benefits of choosing LASEK surgery?
LASEK Laser Eye Surgery offers several advantages, including a lower risk of dry eye syndrome and no flap-related complications, making it an excellent alternative to LASIK, especially for individuals who have thin corneas or are not LASIK candidates. Additionally, LASEK outcomes are proven to be comparable to those of LASIK.
How long does the LASEK recovery take?
Recovery from LASEK eye surgery varies among individuals. Typically, bandage contact lenses are worn for up to a week post-surgery to aid in the healing process. While some may experience discomfort for a few days, most patients can return to their routine activities shortly after. A follow-up visit is usually scheduled within a few days after the surgery to monitor the healing process.
Is LASEK Eye Surgery painful?
Discomfort levels vary, but most patients report only mild to moderate discomfort following the procedure, which can be managed with medicated eye drops. Our team at Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic in Harley Street, London ensures every patient receives comprehensive care to minimise discomfort throughout the LASEK journey.
How long does LASEK surgery last?
LASEK surgery is designed to be permanent; however, the natural aging process might affect vision over time. It’s worth noting that a vast majority of LASEK patients maintain excellent vision well beyond a decade following their procedure.
What alternative laser eye surgeries do you offer?
At Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic in Harley Street, London, we also specialise in PRK, LASIK and SMILE, among other advanced laser eye treatments. Our dedicated team can guide you through the available options to find the most suitable solution for your vision needs.
