What to expect
Eye-numbing drops are applied. A thin flap is created on the cornea using a femtosecond laser. The excimer laser reshapes the cornea underneath. The flap is repositioned. The procedure takes 10–15 minutes per eye. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision within 24 hours.
Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia is typically used for this procedure.
