Refractive Surgery, Epikeratomes (Epi-Lasik Systems) Manufacturers

Epikeratome is a fully automated system with a disposable head that enables surgeons to perform a new refractive procedure known as Epi-Lasik. The Epi-K is utilized to mechanically cleave the epithelium from the membrane leaving a pristine optical zone for laser ablation. It preserves the structural integrity of the stroma and is expected to minimize discomfort, shorten the length of visual recovery, and reduce the incidence of haze associated with other surface ablation procedures.
