In laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis ... the excimer laser and microkeratome are combined for vision correction; the microkeratome is used to shave a thin slice and create a hinged flap in the cornea, the flap is reflected back, the exposed cornea is reshaped by the laser, and the flap is replaced, without sutures, to heal back into position. 2, record 1, English, - laser%20assisted%20in%2Dsitu%20keratomileusis

Lors de chirurgie au laser, l'ophtalmologue modifie la forme de la cornée à l'aide d'un laser excimère. Au cours de l'opération, un rayon ultraviolet guidé par ordinateur vaporise une mince couche de tissu cornéen, corrigeant ainsi l'anomalie de réfraction de la lumière sur la rétine de l'œil. Deux types de chirurgie oculaire au laser se pratiquent couramment : la PRK (photokératectomie réfractive) et le LASIK (kératomileusie in situ au laser). [...] Dans la PRK, un faisceau laser vaporise juste assez de tissu à la surface de la cornée pour en modifier la forme de façon à corriger la vue. [...] La chirurgie LASIK est plus complexe. Le chirurgien fait une incision, puis rabat la cornée. À l'aide du laser, il enlève une couche déterminée du tissu sous-jacent avant de replacer le rabat cornéen. 1, record 1, French, - k%C3%A9ratomileusie%20in%20situ%20au%20laser
