Phase of the cornea's cut out : the eye is still and the cornea is cut out. A thin part of the cornea or "corneal flap" is cut out. The thickness of this "corneal flap" is determined by the surgeon (130, 160 or 180 microns).
"Laser" phase : on the remained cornea, the laser does its work, it is computer-controlled by the surgeon based on each patient's criteria.
