That's great news. I was discouraged of laser correction when I read some research that the layer they cut off and put back on doesn't really fuse back with the rest of the eyeball. The adhesion force is if I remember correctly 8% of the original. I wouldn't want to risk accidentally rubbing off an important chunk of my corona. The other option is just to cut it off completely and shape what's underneath but that heals slower and is also not great because the top layer is not the same as what's below.
I'm reading that flap detachment is very rare. It very well might be. Maybe the eye is vastly over-engineered and 8% is sufficient for most modern humans. But I'm sceptical.
