Lasik

WHAT IS LASIK?

LASIK is the most common refractive procedure performed to correct refractive errors and reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses. LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis and is a technique that uses the laser to create a partial-thickness flap of the cornea and then an excimer laser to reshape the surface beneath the flap. LASIK can be used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

During Lasik Laser Surgery, the Surgeon will place anesthetic drops in your eye and will use a special eyelid clip to avoid eye blinking. During the procedure, you may see a red or green fixation light. The Surgeon will use a highly precise instrument with a blade (Microkeratome) to cut a very thin flap in your cornea. Your surgeon will open the flap (like the cover of a book) and use the computer-controlled laser to shape the cornea underneath. It will take about 30 seconds to remove the right amount of your cornea. LASIK Surgeon will then reposition the flap so that it can bond to the rest of your cornea. You won’t need any stitches. Lasik Surgeon will prescribe antibiotic eye drops to put in your eye to help the cornea to heal without infection.
