Any comments/concerns about this procedure
would be much appreciated. I am thinking
of getting it myself, in the near future.
Please share stories or experiences.
Thanks. I'm still debating over it.

Laser Eye Surgery - Flapless Posted: 06-12-06 20:06pm
I am also considering laser eye surgery
and have looked at the new procedure that
allows you to avoid having a corneal flap
cut. The procedure involves the "moving"
of the epithelial layer of the cornea,
then the laser modification to the cornea,
then moving the layer back. I'm
impressed by what i've read and seen.
I have a question, also. I've been a
contact lense wearer for 20+ years. As a
result; my cornea is symptomatic of
keratoconus - a deterioration of the
cornea. My doctor believes that the
symptoms are a result of prolonged contact
lense wear and I am therefore wearing my
glasses for a month to see if the cornea
"flattens" back to normal. Has anyone
else experienced this?
