• A thin layer of the cornea is lifted to create a flap using either a mechanical microkeratome or a femtosecond laser (blade-free LASIK)
• The underlying surface is reshaped with the laser. The laser treatment applied under the corneal flap can be standardized or individually customized using wavefront technology.
• The corneal flap is repositioned to complete the procedure. Because the surface skin is disturbed less, there is less discomfort than LASEK and a more rapid recovery.

Most patients experience a marked improvement in vision within 24 hours.
We recommend patients do not return to work until after we have examined them the following day after surgery.
