Imagine getting up in the morning and seeing the

out and cleaning contact lenses. Imagine playing tennis or golf
without interference from your glasses or contacts. Imagine how your
view of the world would change and how the world would view you
without glasses or contacts.
LASIK is now turning dreams into reality for
people all over the world that are nearsighted farsighted or have astigmatism.
Using the light of the Excimer laser, this
procedure can eliminate a lifetime of dependence on glasses and
contact lenses and takes only a few minutes to perform.
What Is LASIK ?
LASIK is an acronym for Laser In-situ
Keratomileusis, which simply means, "to shape the cornea within
using a laser." It corrects vision by reshaping the cornea (outer
window of the eye) so that light rays focus more precisely on the
retina, thereby reducing or eliminating refractive errors.
Using an instrument known as a
microkeratome, a
thin protective flap of corneal tissue is folded back. The Excimer
laser then removes a predetermined amount of tissue from the inner
cornea to correct the individual’s refractive error. The cornea is
made flatter to treat nearsightedness, steeper to treat farsightedness
and/or more spherical to correct astigmatism. The corneal flap is
placed back in its original position where it bonds without the need
for stitches. LASIK can treat low to very severe refractive errors.
