The corneal flap is lifted and the inner stromal layers of the cornea are "Lasered" with a excimer laser to reshape the inner layer of the cornea assisted by an active eye tracking system , tracking eye movements and directing the laser accordingly. The laser algorithms or treatment plans are computer calculated and driven to give an accurate outcome.

The flap is then replaced without the need for stitches, the entire LASIK procedure thus finishes within few minutes.
