Dr, Robert Maloney (one of the top lasik surgeons in the U.S.) testified that the flap never heals. So have others. If anyone needs to do their research, it is you.
Read some peer-reviewed medical journal articles for the truth about the flap.
J Refract Surg. 2005 Sep-Oct;21(5):433-45.
CONCLUSIONS: The human comeal stroma typically heals after LASIK in a limited and incomplete fashion; this results in a weak, central and paracentral hypocellular primitive stromal scar that averages 2.4% as strong as normal comeal stroma.
It will heal; the longer time passes the harder it is to raise for an enhancement if you needed one. After 5 years, it is almost impossible to lift - meaning that it is 'healed'.
If a flap has been lifted 13 years later, THEN IT WASN'T DONE RIGHT TO BEGIN WITH!! I had Lasik surgery 7 months ago. When I first had it, they could see the flap. I went to my regular eye doctor in June who didn't know I had even had the surgery and they couldn't see the flap or cut at all. They, themselves, who don't like lasik, said that whoever the surgeon was done a very good job. to not be able to see the flap at 6 months was excellent.
Whether or not someone can "see" your flap, it is there and will be there for the rest of your life. It just takes a simple tool to pop up the edge and lift it. You need to go back to your surgeon and ask him why he didn't tell you that you'd have flaps that would never heal completely. Once you have flaps, you always have flaps.
Most likely not. I know another patient who has some rather large chunks of metal in her eye also, and she was turned down by the tech doing MRIs at a Los Angeles area hospital. He said it could rip the metal right out of her cornea and refused to allow the procedure.
the microkeratome wasn't an FDA approved medical device, its approval was grandfathered in when the FDA began approving medical devices as safe. not that it matters. the fda approved old lasers for treatments of levels of myopia and hyperopia that are no longer standard of care, meaning that the medical community recognizes that the FDA approved these devices as safe when they weren't. what a joke.
Finally a video that shows patients the problems with every Lasik procedure, problems with the flap, the permanent flap that never heals, but doctor's aren't telling patients this...many doctors have sold their sould to the Devil and spend more time swiping their credit card than for properly pre-screening patients...
It seems that the patient is learning that there is an extraordinary amount of metal in their eye. Cornea transplant is the only remedy the lasik profession seems to be able to come up with for this patient.

That would be incorrect. Flaps have been lifted as long as 13 years after lasik. Once you have a lasik flap, you always have a lasik flap.
