LASIK, or Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis (meaning to shape the cornea of the eye using a laser), is an advanced laser procedure for correcting nearsighted, farsighted, and astigmatic vision.
This procedure is performed by an ophthalmologist using anesthetic eye drops that completely numb the eye, eliminating
the use of needles.
The surgeon creates a micro-thin protective flap. As soon as the protective flap has been created, the surgeon uses state-of-the-art laser technology to gently sculpt the cornea for the intended purpose of reducing or eliminating the need for corrective lenses. The protective flap is then replaced and heals instantly without the need for any stitches.
