how long does lasik surgery take
LASIK surgery takes very little time. The entire procedure for both eyes is usually completed within 15 minutes. The first step of LASIK â creating the corneal flap â may take longer that the laser reshaping of the eye (step two). If the flap is created with a microkeratome, this step takes only a few seconds. But if it's created with a femtosecond laser (in an all-laser LASIK procedure), it may a minute or two. In most cases, the laser reshaping of the eye takes less than a minute. The time for LASIK versus PRK procedures are similar.
