Alcohol Wells

Home / Ophthalmology / Alcohol Wells

Alcohol Wells are designed for retaining alcohol solution on the corneal epitheliumin. The alcohol solution is added to the eyes in order to loosen the edges. Once it is sufficiently loosened, the eye surgeon would pull back the flap after which the laser would then be fired into the eye, just like in LASIK surgery. Once this is done, the surgeon would add eye drops to rewet the eye, smoothen the eye and then replace the epithelial flap back onto the eye.
