What is LASIK?

\n\n \n \n
\n \t\n

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a type of the vision correction procedures. The operation is performed to improve the common eye problems (myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism).\n

\n

The procedure lasts 10 minutes per eye. A patient may return home in a few minutes after the LASIK operation. The vision is stabilized completely from a few days to several weeks.\n

\n
\n\t

100% of the patients stop wearing glasses and contact lenses after the LASIK surgery.\n\t

\n
\n

LASIK is a combination of microsurgical and excimer laser technologies. During the LASIK correction procedure, the eye doctors use a microkeratome (microsurgical device). The specialists create a flap of corneal tissue and bend it with the microkeratome.\n

\n

Then the ophthalmologists carry out the laser correction on the inner layers of the cornea. During the operation a new shape of the cornea is created. It begins to refract light rays differently, which focus on the retina and the image becomes clear.\n
