LASIK: 4 Easy Steps
1. The eye is anaesthetized with topical eye drops
2. The surgeon creates a corneal flap on the outer layer of the eye.
3. Laser reshapes the cornea.
4. The corneal flap is replaced like closing the cover of a book

​
-
Measure the thickness of the cornea through a test called topography
