Lasik Q & A
LASIK is short for Laser-assisted in situ Keratomileusis. You may know it as laser eye surgery. It works by changing the shape of the eye’s cornea, which then allows light to properly travel to the back of the eye so that your brain can correctly process it. This improves your vision and can overcome nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure has a 96 percent success rate in helping people avoid needing to use their glasses or contact lenses anymore.
You may be able to get LASIK eye surgery and have your vision improve in such a way as to no longer require glasses or contact lenses. Laser eye surgery treats conditions such as astigmatism, myopia, hypertropia, and presbyopia, so many people are good candidates who stand to gain a lot. There is a small risk of vision loss, dry eye, halo vision, infection, and a slipped flap due to surgery.
