How does the cut for the corneal flap differ when comparing between blade and bladeless LASIK, and what impact does this have on the risk of dislodgement of the flap?
The term blade / bladeless LASIK refers to the method of cornea flap creation. Bladed Lasik utilises a mechanical keratom or blade, whilst bladeless LASIK refers to a femto-second laser which is utilised to create a cornea flap. In general, studies comparing the 2 forms of flap creation, have indicated that for bladeless-Lasik, the flap depth is more predictable and accurate (closer to the intended depth), less likely to have flap-related complications including incomplete flap, button-hole flap etc. Flaps are also less likely to move or dislodge following surgery.
If I go for LASIK enhancement 1 year later, will the corneal flap adherence weaken as it has to be opened again?
With LASIK enhancement, the flap is opened and the underlying stromal bed is treated again to remove residual spectacle power. The effect on flap adherence is the same as after LASIK for the first time, ie that initially it will be weak and then eventually as the cornea heals, the adherence will go back to the way it was before the LASIK enhancement was performed.
