Could you tell me what happens if you blink during laser eye surgery?

Eye is held open: When i perform laser vision correction, I use a device called an eyelid speculum to gently hold the eye open so blinking becomes a non-issue.

Eye is held open: There need be no concern about blinking during laser eye surgery as the eye is held open. During laser vision correction, most lasers also have a tracker which will follow the eye when it moves.
