about lasik

LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) is a laser vision correction technique that uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea and correct a wide range of near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism.

It starts with a microkeratome (mechanical blade) or a precision femtosecond laser, used to create a thin surface flap of your cornea in seconds. Then the excimer laser, which has been programmed with your exact correction, applies a rapid, cool ultraviolet light that precisely removes a very small amount of tissue from the inner portion of the cornea. These short laser pulses correct the curvature of the cornea, allowing your vision to be focused clearly on the retina. The flap is then gently kept back into its original position where it quickly bonds back in place, restoring a smooth, intact surface.

Presbyopia, an age-related condition causes natural and normal changes in the lens, located in the back of your eye. This condition eventually affect all people, including those who have undergone laser eye surgery.
