When Lasik is performed, a flap is slit into the top of the conea and folded back in order for the lazer to work inside the cornea, then the flap is folded back down in place. Sometimes, when it is folded back down into place, it has wrinkles, (striae) like window tint that has wrinkles in it from not being smoothed down into place well enough.
