What is LASIK?

 

By Dr Tomislav Meštrović, MD, PhD

LASIK is a surgical procedure where cornea of the eye is reshaped in order to reduce a person’s dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The acronym LASIK stands for Laser In Situ Keratomileusis because an excimer laser (type of an ultraviolet laser) is used. It is similar to other corrective procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy, but provides several additional benefits – primarily quicker recovery period.

I had it 15 years ago.  Best thing Ive done (medically).

went from about 20/600 to 20/15.    My eyesight is still 20/20
