LASIK Surgery (With Flap Creation) |
|
In LASIK surgery ( conventional ) a flap of Corneal tissue is cut of 90 to 120 microns thickness in the cornea. The laser is applied beneath this flap and it is reposited in place.
|
Advantage of Flap :
- Patient is comfortable on the second day itself as the surface of the eye is well preserved.
Disadvantages of Flap :
- Complications can occur during the creation of the LASIK Flap during surgery.
- 100 microns of corneal thickness used in the flap don't offer any strength to the cornea. Hence lesser treatment can be done and long term stability of cornea is lesser.
- In case of injury sometimes the flap can tear, deform or displace.
