-Free cap is an intra-operative complication of LASIK.
-In LASIK, a hinged corneal flap is created that allows the excimer laser to be applied on the exposed stromal bed.
-If the hinge of the corneal flap detaches, the flap becomes a free cap.
LOOK ABOVE FOR THE RISK FACTORS!
Tomorrow look out for management of free caps!
