Every Individual has the Right to See the World Clearly.
LASIK is an acronym for laser in situ keratomileusis, which means applying a laser beneath a corneal flap (in situ) to reshape the cornea (keratomileusis). Lasik Laser Surgery is a medical treatment that uses Lasik Laser to alter the surface of the eye. Myopia (short-sightedness), hypermetropia (long-sightedness) and astigmatism (uneven curvature of the eye’s surface) can be corrected through Lasik Laser Surgery.
During the Lasik surgery, a local anesthetic will be placed in your eye and a special eyelid clip will be used to prevent blinking. You won’t be able to see anything out, but you can observe a red or green light during the procedure. A highly accurate instrument with a blade (Microkeratome) or Laser (IntraLase) will be used to cut a very thin flap in your cornea.
Your surgeon will open up the flap (like the cover of a book) and use a computer-controlled laser to reshape the cornea beneath. It will take roughly 30 seconds to remove all of your cornea. After that, your Lasik Surgeon will reposition the flap so that it can permanently join with the rest of your cornea. You will not need any stitches. Instead, your Lasik Surgeon will prescribe antibiotic eye drops to help prevent you from getting an infection.

Surgery Cost
The cost of LASIK eye surgery varies considerably depending on which technique you choose. The more sophisticated the technology, the higher the price.
