Epi-LASIK is yet another technique in LASIK surgery promoted by Moria™. The technique utilizes the Epi-K® mechanical (non-laser) device to separate the outer epithelial layer of the cornea from the underlying layers. Although sometimes touted as a ‘blade-free’ procedure, according to one publication off of Moria’s own website…. ‘ The disposable head encases a pre-assembled non-cutting blade.’** Some surgeons like to refer to the device as an epithelial separator. In either case, one thing it is not…….laser. Only iLASIK™ using IntraLase® offers 100% laser and is totally blade-free. **Euro Times Publication, 2006 from www.moria-surgical.com website.
