Laser Eye Surgery Documentary Film

This instructional video will go through the following stages in the LASIK laser eye surgery operation. Before you watch the video, please read these notes:

Prior to the start of the video a local anaesthetic has been administered to eliminate any feeling and a surgical clamp fitted to prevent lid movent. The video shows the 6 subsequent stages:

Flap Preparation

  1. Flap preparation (cutting the outer corneal surface to access the layer to be lasered).
  2. Flap lifting and operation area cleaned.
  3. Fitting the eye tracker (to improve the accuracy of the ablation by locking the laser onto any eye movement).
  4. Laser ablation.
  5. Flap repositioning (healing process starts immediately).
  6. End of surgery.

Laser Ablation
