LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular and effective surgical procedure designed to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. It works by precisely reshaping the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, using an excimer laser. This allows light to focus correctly on the retina, resulting in sharper, clearer vision.
Beyond traditional LASIK, various other refractive surgeries, such as PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), are available and may be recommended based on your specific eye health and lifestyle. These procedures aim to reduce or eliminate your dependence on corrective eyewear, offering a life-changing improvement in visual acuity.
