KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — In this Healio Video Perspective from Kiawah Eye, Darrell E. White, MD, discusses why he switched to exclusively performing surface-only laser refractive surgery, which does not require making a flap.
“You can make a great result happen with little discomfort, rapid visual recovery and none of the things that can come from making a flap like increased risk of ectasia, slipped flaps, striae and epithelial ingrowth,” he said.
