LASIK

LASIK, which stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular surgical procedure used to correct refractive vision problems, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The main goal of LASIK is to reduce a person's dependence on glasses or contact lenses. During the LASIK procedure, a surgeon uses a specialized laser to reshape the cornea—the clear front part of the eye.
