WHAT IS “LASIK”, LASER EYE SURGERY?
LASIK, actually short for “laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis”, is the most popular and most common laser eye surgery performed, because the procedure is relatively painless, recovery is very fast and the patient can achieve good vision almost immediately or at least by the next day. For millions, LASIK has proven remarkably and safely effective in correcting farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism.
