The Basics of Lasik Surgery

Today we will break down the basics of LASIK eye surgery, answering the who, whats and when's about the procedure. For those interested in the surgery I hope this post will provide you with a basic understanding of the processes behind the procedures.

LASIK eye surgery is a treatment that reshapes the cornea in order to produce clear vision.Used to correct refractive errors, the LASIK refractive eye surgery procedure can treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, and reduce patients’ dependency on contact lenses and glasses. Because refractive errors impede the focusing ability of the eye, patients who suffer from these conditions experience blurred vision. LASIK eye surgery provides these individuals with an effective treatment option, where a predetermined amount of corneal tissue is removed. This reshaping of the cornea improves the eye’s focusing power and enhances patients’ visual acuity.
