There is PRK, no cutting involved. Also, there is epi-LASIK, no cutting and no flap.

You can move your eye. The laser has a tracker that locks on to your pupil. The laser pulses get put right where they belong.

Dr. Steven Vale is awesome! I can see like an Eagle! I should have had laser vision correction years ago! My consultation was free and no pressure.They explained the entire LASIK experience, before and after surgery, to me in detail. I had shopped around prior to going to Acuity. They were over $1800 less than the next closest priced laser vision center for two eyes! I have recommended 9 people to Acuity Laser Eye & Vision Center. They are all thrilled with their outcomes!

If the flap comes off, you’ll have to heal PRK-style. The tissue grows back VERY fast. The flap can be cut off and it’ll grow back in like 2-3 days.

You don’t really feel much during the operation. The most irritating part is when they apply the eye numbing drops. Of course you’re scared during that.

0:15 the lifting of the flap. I’ve seen videos of that flap disintegrating. I’ve also heard claims that the flap can come off later in life. Apparently the flap never heals.
How about all that?
