computer controlled excimer cold laser & a tool called microkeratome or femtosecond

laser. Surgeon cuts a flap in the centre of cornea to remove a thin layer of tissue , thereby

cornea flattens .The flap is replaced without stitches & reattaches to cornea within

minutes.

CUSTOMVUE LASIK:

Wavefront guided lasik is advanced method for measuring optical distortions in the eye.

Wavescan can be used to evaluate the eye before surgery. It measures how light is

distorted as it passes into the eye & is reflected back, this creates an optical map of the

eye & show details of the area. This technology lets a lasik surgeon adjust the laser beam

settings for more precise procedure, which gives sharper vision & reduce night vision

problems
