Local anaesthetic eye drop will be instilled to numb and prevent any discomfort during the procedure.

A corneal flap is created and lifted to one side. Excimer laser uses a Cool Ultraviolet Beam to remove microscopic amounts of tissue from the cornea to reshape it; thus, enabling the light entering the eye to focus properly onto the retina.

The flap is laid back in place, covering the area where corneal tissue was removed. The cornea is allowed to heal naturally.
