Streamlight Lasik
Mechanical debridement of the epithelium leads to potential BM injury , Upregulation of keratocytes and irregular OZ exposure.
This usually leads to stormy postoperative course in the first few days , irregular re-epithelialization , considerable pain..
This picture has been always attributed to the removal of the epithelium and the time it takes to regenerate.
Whats the Alternative?
- Remove the Epithelium with the laser
- No mechanical trauma
- No Alcohol
- Rounded disc removed , hence a decreasing rounded defect allowing observation of any irregularity
- Faster healing time
- Shorter “dangerous” period
- Less PAIN……
