LASIK APPLICATION

With the help of a microkeratome (MOTORIZED blade), a flap is removed from the corneal tissue, resembling a can lid. Laser is applied to the tissue under the valve and the flap is closed. A flap is removed from the corneal tissue with the laser. A blade is not used. Laser is applied to the tissue under the valve and the flap is closed.

ADVANTAGES

•  As soon as the laser application is completed, the patient has adequate vision.
•  Pain, burning, and stinging are not seen or seen for a very short time.
•  Prevention of workforce loss.
•  Corrections are possible for high diopters.

DISADVANTAGES

•  Inability to apply to thin corneas.
•  Provides susceptibility to dry eye disease.
•  Alterations on corneal biomechanics.
•  Reducing the corneal resistance.
•  Temporary increase of intraocular pressure.
