Is there a flap created with bladeless lasik intralase?!


Question: Like the flap that is created with traditional bladed lasik. Does it exist with intralase? Because I am aware of the problem of the flap in bladed lasik never healing and being able to be dislodged under certain circumstances in the future and I am wondering if intralade bladeless lasik has the same flap concerns.

Yes, a flap is created with your basic LASIK. There is another option called PRK which they now say is actually better than LASIK. Keep in mind though with PRK, it is a 7 day recovery period vs 24 hours with LASIK. What they do with PRK is literally buffer off the top few layers of your cornea leaving abrasions on the eye. If you qualify for laser vision correction and go with PRK, make sure you get some post treatment pain killers and plan on taking a week off work. Believe me, when I had PRK done a little over a year ago, I didn't have anything for the pain and I wondered what in the heck I was thinking in the 1st place. When I had an enhancement a few months ago due to one eye settling at 20/40 I had post surgical meds and it was smooth sailing.

Yes, every lasik will involves the cutting but how much they cut.
