LASIK Vision Correction
LASIK is a procedure intended to reduce a person's dependency on eye glasses or contact lenses.
The goal of this Web site is to provide objective information about LASIK eye surgery. Learn about what you should know before surgery, what will happen during the procedure, and what you should expect afterwards. We have included other important information such as risks and benefits of this popular vision correction procedure, what to look for in a Lasik surgeon, plus a whole lot of other useful information on the subject.
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Sutu Keratomileusis, a process which reshapes the cornea to refract light in the lens.
The procedure corrects refractive errors in the cornea. The laser precisely controls the tearing of the corneal tissue, reshaping the cornea and changing its focus.
LASIK surgery is a very simple two step process:
1. A slight, thin flap of tissue is created on the outside layer of the eye or cornea. The flap helps heal and provide comfort on the way to better vision.
2. The doctor then folds open the flap on the inner cornea to correct the vision. Finally, the flap is closed to its original position and sealed with stitches.
A good idea for those who are considering the surgery is to research the types of lasers used by local doctors during LASIK.
As improvements are made and doctors are regulated the cost of LASIK surgery continues to drop, making it a possibility for some who could only dream of such improvement a few years back. Some surgeries are referred to as “bladeless” or “custom” LASIK, meaning they are more efficient and tailored to the individual.
