LASIK is an acronym for Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis. It has become enormously popular, because it’s:
· Painless
· Quick, and
· Effective.
What is LASIK?
It’s a type of eye surgery in which an extremely precise laser is used to modify the corneal surface so as to remove irregularities that have impaired your vision. The cornea is the front part of the eyeball, the white part around the iris.
· Near-sightedness (myopia)
· Far-sightedness (hyperopia)
· Astigmatism
It does not correct presbyopia, that need for reading glasses that overtakes all of us once we reach the age of 40 or 50. That’s because presbyopia treatments must deal with the stiffening lens and weakening eye muscles, rather than just modifying the corneal surface.
