With LASIK your Colorado Springs ophthalmologist
creates a small flap in the front portion of your cornea. Tiny quick pulses of laser light are applied to
your cornea with a laser device. Your Colorado Springs eye doctor
then folds back the corneal flap. Once the flap is lifted
to one side laser energy is applied for a few seconds to a minute or so to reshape the cornea. Then the corneal flap is
returned to its original position where it adheres naturally. After the procedure the reshaped cornea focuses light more
accurately on the retina.
