LASIK is one of the most advanced forms of eye surgeries, which is done in order to correct hyperopia, astigmatism and myopia. There will be nothing wrong to consider LASIK as one the most exciting surgeries. It corrects refractive errors and can reduce a person’s dependency on contact lenses or glasses. Full form of LASIK is Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis.
In this refractive LASIK eye surgery either the patient’s cornea is reshaped, or a prosthetic lens is implanted within the cornea. Usually surface laser ablation techniques are adopted for reshaping the cornea. Some of the refractive errors that could be corrected by LASIK include farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism.
