Laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) is a new surgical procedure to treat myopia. An epithelial flap is created after the exposure to 20 % alcohol and following the laser ablation the epithelium is repositioned to its original location. The advantage of LASEK is that the ablated corneal surface is covered by a full thickness epithelium immediately after surgery. It is hypothesised that this epithelial coverage inhibits the wound healing response of the cornea. However, this concept will only work if the epithelial cells are still vital after the exposure to alcohol.
