What is EPI LASIK?
EPI LASIK is a non-detectable, flapless surface ablation procedure. Unlike traditional LASIK, it does not cut into the corneal stroma — making it structurally the safest option. The epithelial sheet is gently separated and repositioned after laser reshaping. Ideal for thin corneas, contact sports athletes, and armed forces candidates.

Technology Overview
EPI LASIK is a surface ablation technique designed for patients who need structurally the safest laser vision correction. Unlike traditional LASIK, no corneal flap is cut into the stroma. Instead, the thin epithelial layer is gently separated using an epi-separator device and repositioned after laser reshaping. The cornea remains structurally intact, making this procedure undetectable in post-operative examinations.
How It Works
- 1An epi-separator gently lifts the epithelial sheet (surface layer only) without cutting the stroma
- 2The excimer laser (400 Hz) precisely reshapes the exposed corneal surface
- 3The epithelial sheet is repositioned over the treated area
- 4A bandage contact lens is placed for 5-7 days while the epithelium regenerates
- 5Complete structural integrity of the cornea is maintained throughout
Ideal For
- Indian Armed Forces candidates (Army, Navy, Air Force) — undetectable
- Contact sports athletes (boxing, martial arts, wrestling)
- Patients with thin corneas (preserves full stromal thickness)
- Patients who want zero flap-related risk
- Budget-friendly flapless option at ₹18,000/eye
