2 Steps to Get Rid of Your Glasses

• LASIK is and always has been a 2-step procedure
• First, a thin flap of tissue is created
  using a laser or microkeratome
• Secondly, a special kind of cool laser
  (called an excimer laser) reshapes the underlying
  cornea and corrects your spectacle error.

Microkeratome thats a blade, right?

• The characteristics of working with a blade meant
  that the centre of the flap could vary in
  thickness. The surgeon wouldnt know exactly how
  much tissue they had to work with until the flap
  was created or how much short-sightedness could
  be treated. The profile of the flap edge also
  allowed cells from the outside of the cornea to
  grow under the edge.

Blade-free LASIK

• Blade-free approach was that the surgeon knew
  exactly how thick the flap was going to be, with
  no wastage of tissue. This translates to being
  able to safely correct higher levels of myopia,
  as more tissue is available.
