Yes the keratome should cut through scar tissue although of course i haven't seen your eyes and can't give a definitive answer. The other option used by some surgeons is to switch and perform surface laser correction e.g. PRK with mitomycin to avoid issues with a double cut. Best regards. Dave Hi Jane.

Any more information on that? We can cut a flap with either a keratome blade or a femtosecond laser. We haven't seen this problem with the Ziemer femtosecond laser as it cuts well with corneal scars.

Flaps were made in both corneas, but the procedure could not be completed because I have scarring of the cornea in one eye, and the flap in that eye could not be completed. If I want to procede then one option is to cut through the scar tissue - not with a blade, but with a more sophisticated process, but not a laser. is this likely to succeed?
