LASEK is laser assisted subepithelial keratomileusis which involves create epithelial flap, not with the use of microkeratome but with the use of dilute alcohol solution and then ablation of the cornea with laser. In this procedure there will be no corneal flap creation by microkeratome so it will eliminate any flap related complications.
