Spanish term
escalón
Spanish to English
Medical
Medical (general)
ophthalmology
Context (clear corneal incison):
Definimos el decalaje como la falta de alineación o de correspondencia entre los tejidos que quedan a un lado y otro de la incisión (escalón).
Now, I am not sure whether or not "escalón" is the term used in ophthalmology to illustrate the "morphology" of wound or scar after such incisions, or if it was some sort of metaphor arbitrarily chosen by the writer of the article. In any case, I would like your feedback for translation.
Thank you.

Graefe's knife and stair stepped incisions in cataract surgery
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
Your cataract will be removed with an advanced technique called phacoemulsification, or small-incision cataract surgery. After applying a local anesthetic, a "stair-stepped'' incision of about 1/8" is made in the front part of the eye. The cataract is then broken into microscopic particles using high energy sound waves and gently sectioned from the eye. Then, to compensate for the removal of the eye's natural lens, an intra-ocular lens (IOL) is implanted into the eye. After using this special "stair-stepped'' incision, you may receive one. several or even no stitches, This type of incision is self-sealing, stronger, heals faster and remains tightly sealed by the natural outward pressure within your eye.
