How does the Lasik laser procedure work?
All vision disorders for which glasses have to be used are measured in terms of sphere or cylinder or a combination of both. The best-corrected vision is termed 6/6. In simple Lasik, the sphere and cylinder power of a person’ eye is fed into the memory of the laser machine, and the laser then corrects the error. This means that myopia of -2.0 will be corrected in the same way in all individuals with this error.
