Does LASIK Corvette ever heal completely?

This is a question that is frequently asked. But there is no simple answer.

LASIK now heal over time, but perhaps a wound occurs mainly on the side of the flap, and a little below the area of the Corvette.

Emory in the middle of the Eye, Emory University School of Medicine, testing body tensile strength had LASIK wounds measured 25 eye Bank corneas from donors who had LASIK.(1)

The investigation found that the human cornea after LASIK usually limited and incomplete manner, as a result of weak scar flap, which is an average of 2,4% as strong as the normal corneal stroma. On the other hand, the LASIK flap wound margin heals by 10-fold stronger remote scar 28,1%, on average, is so strong as conventional corneal stroma.

This structure, the improvement of the wound explains why LASIK surgeons might re-lift out of the Corvette with LASIK complications, even years after it was originally created to perform LASIK.

In summary we can say that the Corvette to heal over time, LASIK, but never completely healed. However, you don't have to worry about, the blades do not move the normal daily and are only at risk of significant trauma with directly in the eye. So if there is any risk that may be directly impact eye after LASIK, you should use protective eyewear (goggles, for example).
