Epi-LASIK is a type of laser eye surgery that uses a thin epithelial flap instead of a microkeratome blade for creating the flap. This method reduces the risk of complications such as flap-related issues and dry eyes. The procedure reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct refractive errors, resulting in improved vision.
