What is Lasik eye surgery?

Posted in LASIK Surgery on November 9, 2008

Lasik has been a very common terminology used in correcting eye imperfections. If you are dependent on your glasses or contact lenses for proper vision then you should be interested in Lasik eye surgery. Lasik is eye surgery that helps reshape cornea and thereby increases your visibility without any external aid like glasses or contact lenses.

Lasik uses laser to cut the corneal tissues without disturbing the nearby cells. The best part of the whole surgery is the fact that it is a painless procedure, though the only problem is that you might feel irritation in your eyes after the surgery. Lasik eye surgery is not only painless but is also fast as you do not need any hospitalisation after the whole operation. The ongoing popularity of Lasik eye surgery has led to many clinics which have specialised in LASIK treatments.

Though Lasik eye surgery is very effective, it does not solve all eye related problems. It can help in the treatment of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, Lasik eye surgery is not effective in the treatment of presbyopia which is caused to old eyes.

Now if you really feel that you do not want any glasses or contact lenses it is high time that you consider Lasik eye surgery.
