What Is Lasik Eye Surgery?
LASIK is short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis and is a treatment for short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. This procedure makes use of a laser that is controlled by a computer in order to reshape the cornea.
More often than not, the LASIK procedure will minimize the need for eye glasses or contact lenses. It is the most common type of refractive eye surgery today. The aim of refractive surgery is to change the shape of your cornea in order to bend light properly and focus the light on your retina accurately.
