Lol, they all say that, but when you read the fine print…“yes, the cornea does heal after LASIK. While the corneal flap may not fully “heal” in the sense of becoming completely indistinguishable from the surrounding tissue, it does reattach and become very stable.”
It’s like getting penis enlargement surgery buy then you get a warning afterwards… It will fully heal, but just don’t yank it too hard or hang from it for prolonged periods greater than half a second with a force equal or greater than 10 pounds. Levitra will also enlarge your left ear, which you should have trimmed to size every month by your local veterinarian… WTF! No, my eyes are not little meat DSLR cameras to go mess around with. So I don’t share the enthusiasm others do. I may indeed need a surgery in the future, but I’ll postpone it.
This is the first I’ve heard of the eye flap healing being the issue with lasik. I always thought it was the fact that they can only take off just a bit of your lens with the lasers, and then if that continues to change shape as you age (which is common to normal aging eye issues), they can’t go back and shoot more lasers because your lens has already become too thin from the earlier surgery.

Why does this article from 2019 say otherwise?

Soooo, it’s like a little scar that nobody will notice?
