LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular surgical procedure designed to correct refractive errors and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. During LASIK surgery, a precise laser is used to reshape the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, to alter its curvature and improve the way light rays are focused onto the retina, thus enhancing vision. The procedure begins with the creation of a thin flap in the outer layer of the cornea, which is then lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue. The laser is then applied to reshape the cornea according to the patient’s specific prescription. Once the reshaping is complete, the corneal flap is carefully repositioned, where it adheres naturally without the need for stitches.
