Myth: If you blink or move during the procedure, something will go wrong…

Facts:

• In fact, a speculum is placed in the eye during the procedure. Even if you would try, you cannot blink for those few minutes of the procedure. And while some eye movements are inevitable, the lasers are equipped with sophisticated eye trackers to take care of those fine eye movements, and place the laser spots exactly where intented.
• In fact, it is during the flap creation phase that moving your eyes will create some problems for the surgeon. If you are undergoing Femto-LASIK, it is much simpler. The surgeon can simply refit the contact glass, and start the process again. If you are undergoing standard microkeratome lasik, it may be that the surgeon needs to postpone the procedure for a few weeks. But your eye will not come to any harm under either circumstance.

Blink, Move, try what you can. The experienced surgeons at our centers will ensure that you live a life away from  dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
