LASER IN-SITU KERATOMILEUSIS (LASIK) is an advanced laser vision correction procedure designed to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses. It can treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea to improve how light focuses on the retina.
The procedure begins with the creation of a thin corneal flap using advanced laser technology. An excimer laser is then used to precisely reshape the underlying corneal tissue based on your unique prescription and eye measurements. The flap is carefully repositioned, allowing for rapid healing and visual recovery.
LASIK is performed on an outpatient basis and typically takes only minutes to complete. Most patients notice significant visual improvement within the first 24 hours and return to normal daily activities within a day or two.
