Why is that?

Why is that?
- girvo 8y agoInfections and foreign objects, is the usual answer.
- raverbashing 8y agoBecause it might dislocate the flap
- kondro 8y agoGood luck with that. That’s really quite hard to do, ask your surgeon how hard it is to find the original cut when they’re looking for it to do a touch-up.
- raverbashing 8y agoYou don't need to find the flap, finger to the center of the eye sideways will suffice.
- tjpnz 8y agoThis is what worries me the most about taking the plunge, not the videos I've seen of it being done, not the potential side effects, just the fact that I could seriously screw my eyes up by rubbing them after the fact.
- davio 8y agoMy doctor said there was a case of a lady who removed her flap when she woke up at night and tried to remove her contacts out of habit :|
- navs 8y agoBut after months, the flap does settle back. So while it never heals the risk of rubbing your eyes dislocating the flap is rare. Nevertheless, I do worry about this a lot.
