Things you did not know:

Prior to the LASIK eye surgery, it is necessary that you use glasses and not lenses. This is advised as the cornea and its shape play a vital role in the whole procedure.

The doctor will then use a machine which will enable you to keep your eye lids open. As we are used to shutting our eye lids often, you might feel a little uncomfortable for some time. Then you have to look straight into the place above your eyes and the surgeon will perform the procedure which is required. This procedure will take up only a few minutes of your precious time.
