PROCEDURE
An alcohol solution is applied
to the eye to help detach
the cornea's surface (epithelium).
The epithelium is removed,
exposing the cornea.
The laser is used to
reshape the cornea and correct
the visual defect.
A soft lens, similar to a bandage,
is placed on the cornea to
aid in eye protection during
the healing process.
