Lasikuitutapetit
Lasikuitutapetit, also known as the "Laser In Situ Keratomileusis" (LASIK) flap, is a thin layer of corneal tissue that is created during the LASIK eye surgery procedure. The LASIK procedure is a popular refractive surgery method used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure involves creating a flap in the cornea using a laser or a microkeratome, lifting the flap, and then reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with an excimer laser. The flap is then replaced, allowing the cornea to heal naturally. The Lasikuitutapetit is crucial for the success of the LASIK procedure as it provides a clear, stable interface for the excimer laser to reshape the cornea. The flap is typically about 100-150 micrometers thick and is created using a femtosecond laser, which is more precise and less invasive than the traditional microkeratome. The healing process of the flap is an essential part of the recovery period, and proper aftercare is necessary to ensure the best possible outcome.
