Flap-Less Laser Eye Surgery
Introduction
Flap-Less, it is the advanced corneal refractive surgery generation relative to the previous generation of PRK and LASIK. This high-precision procedure is the cutting-edge development in the refractive laser eye treatments. Flap-Less laser eye surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that is able to correct refractive errors from mild to severe near-sightedness and astigmatism.
Flap-less Laser Eye Surgery Procedure
Step 1
A refractive lenticule and small incision are created inside the intact cornea – all in one step
Step 2
The lenticule is removed through the incision with only minimal disruption to the corneal biomechanics.
Step 3
Removing the lenticule changes the shape of the cornea, thereby achieving the desired refractive correction.

-
-
- Post-operative medications and eye drops: We will provide you with artificial tears and antibiotic eyedrops. Before you go home, we will explain to you the use and frequency of the drops.
- Resuming normal routines: On the day of the procedure, you are advised to bring someone to drive you home as you might experience temporary visual discomfort which may be dangerous for you to drive or operate machines. However, you can continue doing light chores and daily activities.
- Sensitivity towards the light: Yes, it is normal and it is a temporary symptom. You can use your sunglasses to reduce the glare and make your eyes feel comfortable. It is also common to get teary and irritation on the eyes. You can just dab your tears on your lower eyelid without applying pressure on your eyeball.
