What Is LASIK & Why Get It?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the world's most popular vision correction surgery. Here's everything you need to know.
What Happens During LASIK?
LASIK uses a precise excimer laser to permanently reshape the cornea — the clear front surface of your eye — so that light focuses correctly on the retina. This eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses to see clearly.
The procedure corrects myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism. –0.5D to –12D / astigmatism up to 6D.
