Abstract

Camellin first coined the term “LASEK” for laser epithelial keratomileusis and also popularized the procedure. Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most common procedure for the surgical correction of refractive errors. The technician and surgeon should both check all instruments and equipment prior to initiating surgery. For mechanical microkeratomes, the diameter of the suction ring and head depth chosen should be verified. Corneal keratometry also must be performed to avoid flap complications.
