Flap Curl: Easily Remedied
Dr. Cory Lessner from the Millennium Laser Eye Centers in Florida shares this surgical pearl in the management of a postoperative complication in a LASIK patient. "This patient's flap edge (6-8 o'clock) had flipped under within an hour of leaving the laser center. As such, no epithelium had grown onto the stromal bed. By utilizing the 27G canula tip with a small amount of BSS followed by the merocel smoothing technique, I was able to save this patient a trip back to the laser suite."
