LASIK is the most advanced method of changing the shape of the cornea
to improve the way light is focused by the eye. The new LASIK procedure
features increased comfort and faster recovery time to better vision compared
with an alternate procedure known as PRK. Most people experience very little
or no discomfort and return to normal activities within a day or two!
First a thin layer of cornea called a "cap" is lifted by a
microkeratome gliding across the cornea. Then high energy pulses from the
laser reshape the cornea with a high level of accuracy. By adjusting the
pattern of the laser beam it is possible to treat high levels of nearsightedness
and moderate levels of farsightedness and astigmatism. The entire procedure
takes less than 30 minutes.
"Its the best thing I ever did for myself!"
