Hello and welcome to the forum. FSDalk is a partial thickness corneal graft, but instead of using conventional cutting instruments the surgeon uses an Intralase femtosecond laser. I'm afraid that I have no experience of this cutting method, but I am sure that there will be somebody along in a moment who has.

Every good wish.
