Correction Procedures: LASIK
What to Expect During & After the Procedure
- Prior to your laser treatment, a detailed map of your cornea will be made and uploaded into the laser. (If you are having customized laser treatment). Your flap will be created with the INTRALASE laser.
- You will then be positioned under the laser (The laser is tested prior to every patient). An instrument (lid speculum) will be used to hold your eye open for you – you cannot blink! A mark will be made on the surface of your cornea and the flap created by the INTRALASE Laser will be retracted.
- The tracker will be engaged. (The tracker can make adjustments should you move your eye inadvertently. If you move too much, the tracker will shut the laser off until you are back in position.) You will be asked to stare directly at a blinking red light.
- The laser is invisible so you cannot see or feel the laser treatment. Once the laser treatment is complete and the flap is repositioned it usually takes less than one minute for the flap to become tightly adherent to the eye so that it will not move.
