Are any scars or marks noticeable after surgery?
LASIK patients may have a very faint outline of the flap visible under a microscope. As time goes by, these edges become less apparent. In most PRK cases, little evidence remains once the eye has healed completely, even when looking at the cornea under a microscope. With CK, micro-punctures and straie on the cornea are not noticeable to the naked eye but are visible under a strong microscope and become less apparent over time. RLE and ICL’s small entry incisions will only be noticeable under a microscope.
