LASIK (laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure which corrects your vision, allowing you to live life without the need for glasses or contact lenses. LASIK Surgery changes the way that the cornea refracts light, enabling it to focus more accurately on the retina, resulting in clearer, sharper vision.

After being given a light anesthetic, the patient is placed in a surgical chair, and a small flap is created in the cornea using a mechanical blade (microkeratome). After the corneal flap is lifted, the excimer laser is used to manipulate the shape of the cornea, correcting the focal length onto the retina.

After the surgeon has finished reshaping the cornea, the flap is then replaced. The procedure is generally complete in about fifteen minutes.

LASIK can correct the vision of people suffering from myopie, hyperopia, and astigmatsim, allowing them to continue through life without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
