❓ What is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a painless laser eye surgery used to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. It reshapes the cornea so light focuses correctly on the retina, helping patients reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.
?⚕️ How the LASIK Procedure Works
LASIK is a quick, outpatient procedure that typically takes less than 15 minutes per eye. Here’s how it works:
Numbing eye drops are applied for comfort.
A thin flap is created on the cornea using a precise laser.
The underlying corneal tissue is reshaped with an excimer laser.
The flap is gently repositioned without stitches.
Most patients notice improved vision within 24 hours.
