What Is Laser Vision Correction (LASIK)?
Laser vision correction is a very common type of corrective eye surgery available for people who are nearsighted or farsighted.
The
most popular form is LASIK. LASIK is the single most commonly performed
refractive surgery procedure. You may hear people calling it "LASIX,"
but the name is actually short for "Laser-assisted in Situ
Keratomileusis". During the procedure, a flap on the front surface of
the eye (the cornea) is folded back and a laser is used to reshape the
cornea. The flap is then placed back to its original position. Most
patients experience good vision results the very next day.
Why is it so popular? LASIK has a relatively painless recovery and quick results.
Eye
anatomy differs from person to person, if you are not a candidate for
LASIK, then PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) maybe for you, the top
layer of the cornea, known as the epithelium is removed, then the eximer
laser is applied to reshape the cornea.
