Trackers help keep the laser beam centered on the cornea. In general - most surgeons can keep things centered on their own, but the tracker can be very helpful.
But using a tracker does not guarantee a perfectly centered flap. There are many reports of decentrations in situations where the tracker was used.


I hope this helps
