Lasik Eye Surgery
Lasik, an acronym for Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a surgery that permanently changes the shape of the cornea using an eximer laser. The cornea is the part of the eye that helps focus light, creating an image on the retina. When you see objects out of focus or blurred it is because the shape of your cornea and eye are not perfect. Lasik is used to correct the imperfections in the cornea that are causing refractive errors. There are three primary types of refractive errors: astigmatism, hyperopia (farsightedness), and myopia (nearsightedness).
