Laser is used in the completely insensitive layers under the surface of the cornea to correct vision. In order to do so, these layers must be accessed. In the traditional LASIK procedure, a mechanical tool called microkeratome is used to cut a protective flap in the cornea to get to the insensitive layers. The advantage of the traditional LASIK intervention is that not only the surgery, but the postoperative stage is also free of any severe discomfort or pain. Vision stabilizes fast, so returning to work is feasible within 1 or 2 days.

Its - rare - disadvantage is that the flap created with the mechanical microkeratome may have complications.

Please note that because we place our patient's safety on the first place, we do not offer LASIK surgery only IntraLASIK that is completely safe.
