How is LASIK similar to a Ziploc bag and why should you care?

It was about 1992 when I first went to visit one of my fellow Ophthalmology residents in Louisiana to see for myself that a corneal 'cap' would almost magically stick back to the front of the eye without glue or stitches. This was before lasers, in a procedure called ALK, which was a foreshadowing of the modern LASIK we practice today. Since that time a new revolution has occurred with femtosecond lasers making flaps which fit better and heal faster than ever before. Now there is an even better breakthrough which literally snaps the cornea back into place. Only the very latest in medical technology allows this to happen and the benefits to patients are impressive.
