Lasic surgery first cuts the cornea leaving a little flap. The doc peals the eyeball then they shoot a laser beam in various places in a pattern to ablate the lens.
Then they put the flap back over like nothing happened, but that flat will never heal. That is why I will not be getting lasic thank you.
Lol, they all say that, but when you read the fine print…“yes, the cornea does heal after LASIK. While the corneal flap may not fully “heal” in the sense of becoming completely indistinguishable from the surrounding tissue, it does reattach and become very stable.”
It’s like getting penis enlargement surgery buy then you get a warning afterwards… It will fully heal, but just don’t yank it too hard or hang from it for prolonged periods greater than half a second with a force equal or greater than 10 pounds. Levitra will also enlarge your left ear, which you should have trimmed to size every month by your local veterinarian… WTF! No, my eyes are not little meat DSLR cameras to go mess around with. So I don’t share the enthusiasm others do. I may indeed need a surgery in the future, but I’ll postpone it.
There’s a new thing where they have been able to reshape the lens by first acidifying it, then returning it to normal after massaging it into a new shape… Rabbit eyes so far, not human… Because rabbits can’t scream like…like…like they were reshaping their eyeballs with acid.
when you say lens, do you mean cornea? i thought most myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism was caused by problems with the shape of the cornea.
ok, i looked up this treatment, and it says “animal tissue tests”, not “animal tests”, so i suspect the rabbits are long past the point of being bothered :|

Why does this article from 2019 say otherwise?

Soooo, it’s like a little scar that nobody will notice?
SMILE uses laproscopy, so the slit is only 3mm instead of 20mm for LASIK. Supposedly like a 3 day recovery time or maybe 2.
Also, does it really never heal?
Hmm I gotta look into that. Yup never heals.

Unfun fact: Rabbits actually can scream, I have had the misfortune of hearing it. It’s not a sound you forget.
Oh that’s terrible.
