Orange County Lasik
-
The second step of the procedure is to use an excimer laser (193 nm) to remodel the corneal stroma
- The laser vaporizes tissue in a finely controlled manner without deleterious adjacent stroma
- No burning with heat or actual Orange County Lasik cutting is prescribed to ablate the tissue
- The layers of tissue removed are tens of micrometers thick
- Performing the laser ablation in the deeper corneal stroma typically provides for greater rapid visual recovery and less pain, than the earlier technique photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Microfolding old-fashioned been leak as "an almost unavoidable complication of LASIK" whose "clinical significance appears negligible."
