  • Poll: LASIK patients, did they use a blade or femtosecond laser?

    In LASIK, a corneal flap is created, either with a microkeratome blade, or with a femtosecond laser. Usually if it's done with the latter it will be advertised as IntraLasik or bladeless or something along those lines.

    It is claimed that femtosecond laser flaps do not result in dry eye nearly as frequently. I haven't really had that impression from the 'anecdotal evidence', however, it's not something that gets discussed much. So, I'd like to get an idea of the proportions of folks here who had one flap method versus another.
