LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, uses a laser to reshape the cornea, providing vision correction. Here's a concise overview:
1-Eye Examination:
-
Assess eye health, measure refractive errors, and evaluate corneal characteristics.
2-Creating a Flap:
-
Use a laser to create a protective flap on the cornea.
3-Corneal Reshaping:
-
Employ an excimer laser to precisely reshape the cornea based on refractive errors.
4-Vision Correction:
-
Flatten (nearsightedness), steepen (farsightedness), or smooth irregularities (astigmatism).
5-Flap Repositioning:
-
Carefully reposition the flap onto the treated area without stitches.
6-Immediate Vision Improvement:
-
Achieve immediate clarity as the reshaped cornea focuses light onto the retina.
7-Post-Operative Care:
-
Follow instructions, use prescribed eye drops, attend follow-up appointments for optimal results.
LASIK effectively corrects refractive errors, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. Individual results may vary; discuss potential risks and benefits with an eye care professional.
