LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis)

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular eye surgery designed to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the procedure, a thin flap is created on the cornea's surface, and a laser is used to reshape the underlying tissue. This helps improve how light is focused on the retina, enhancing vision. LASIK is known for its quick recovery time and effectiveness, allowing many people to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting and takes only a few minutes.
