How is the flap created during iLASIK?
The first part of the iLASIK procedure involves creating a thin corneal flap with a very fast laser known as the Intralase laser. According to Dr. Sandy T. Feldman, the Intralase laser creates fine gas bubbles within the cornea at the precise thickness and size in order to create the flap. A second laser is them used for the LASIK vision correction procedure.
