LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and simply put is a procedure using an excimer laser that permanently changes the shape of the eye. A small flap is cut into the cornea and folded over to allow access to the part of the eye called the stroma, where the laser is used to reshape the cornea and the flap is closed .
LASIK surgery is painless and usually takes less than 30 minutes. Your eye will be numbed and held open by a small instrument. A ring is then placed over the eye to create suction while your doctor makes the incision. The knife used to make this incision is called a microkeratome. The ring and microkeratome will then be removed for the doctor to position the laser on the area of your eye that is to be corrected. During this time, you will have to remain focused on a light straight in front of you. While these laser eye surgery procedures are simple, painless and quick, there are some risks, including dry eyes, halos when looking at lights, double vision, difficulty seeing in low light situations and actual vision loss.
After the tissue is removed, the flap will be returned to its original position. At this time, a small shield will be placed over your eye to protect it while the flap begins to heal.
