About this video:
Doctor John Frangie IntraLase specialist in Springfield MA tells us LASIK surgery is a two step process. First, the surgeon must gain access to your cornea by creating a flap of tissue. The tissue is then folded back and the surgeon is able to perform laser vision correction treatment on the inner layer of the cornea.
Originally, this flap was created with a hand held mechanical device which uses a metal blade. The blade makes a pass across your eye and actually creates a cut in the cornea. By using a blade, the surgeon is NOT able to allow for total customization of the flap. Customization is vital to the predictability and reliability of your vision correction procedure. Although this method has worked well over the years, the performance of these devices can be unpredictable. Without a great flap, you may not get great results.
