LASIK Enchancement - Lifiting the Flap

Show Description +

If enough corneal tissue remains in the stromal bed to allow further laser ablation, Guy Sallet, MD, FEBOphth, prefers to lift the flap rather than cut a new one. In this video, he presents a step-by-step demonstration of his current technique for flap-lift after primary LASIK procedure. This technique minimizes the chance for corneal epithelial erosions and epithelial ingrowth.
