Lasik Eye Surgical Procedure

LASIK Eye Surgery is a procedure which is used to correct your vision. Basically it is a surgical procedure which is an alternative to the need to wearing glasses or contact lenses. In fact LASIK is a refractive surgical procedure which after the surgical operation can allow someone to obtain a vision of 20/20. But how does LASIK work? Well in fact it permanently changes the shape of your cornea so that your able to see proparly again!


But what does the LASIK surgical procedure consist in? During the surgery, a laser is used in order to cut a thin part (circular in most cases) in the cornea of your eyes. This thin part is then moved away so that the middle part of the cornea can be seen. Then, with a computer controlled laser minute bits of this section of the cornea are removed and reshaped if necessary. This is the most complex part of the operation. Once the operation is accomplished, your eye and in particular the the cornea is reshaped correctly and will allow you to have a clearer vision. LASIK eye surgery can be used in order to correct different sorts of vision issues such as the near/far sighted issues or even astigmatism!
