Prime LASIK procedure

01·04
STEP 1

Diagnostic & planning

60+ precision tests are reviewed to set
the surgical parameters best suited to you.

STEP 2

Corneal flap creation

An advanced laser forms a thin corneal flap
that is carefully lifted aside.

STEP 3

Vision-correcting laser

Tracking the visual and astigmatism axes live,
the laser reshapes the stroma to target.

STEP 4

Flap repositioning

After ablation, the flap is replaced and
smoothly seated to complete surgery.
