Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)
LASIK vision corection is a procedure used to correct vision problems such as
myopia (nearsightedness),
hyperopia (farsightedness), and
astigmatism. A special
instrument called a keratome is used to gently lift a flap of corneal tissue, then laser
is used to reshape the cornea. The corneal flap is carefully
repositioned. This procedure allows light to focus more precisely on the
retina, resulting in clearer vision. For many patients, LASIK means a new
lifestyle - free from the restrictions of glasses.
If you are at least 18 years old and your glasses haven't required a significant prescription change in the past year, you may be a candidate for LASIK.
