LASIK
(Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive eye surgery used to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the procedure, a microkeratome or femtosecond laser creates a thin flap in the cornea. An excimer laser then reshapes the corneal tissue to improve how light enters the eye, thus correcting vision. LASIK typically results in reduced reliance on glasses or contact lenses, rapid recovery, and improved visual acuity, making it a preferred choice for many seeking vision correction.
