What is SBK (Sub-Bowmans Keratomileusis)?
A form of LASIK where the flap is ultra-thin (approximately 100 microns or less) and thus just below a very superficial layer of the cornea called Bowman’s Layer. Dr. Duffey has preferred this technique for all of his LASIK patients since 2002 (whether the microkeratome or the femtosecond laser is used for the flap creation) because it allows more rapid healing and is ultimately a safer procedure in his hands.
