LASIK, which stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a refractive surgical procedure that uses lasers to treat and correct vision problems caused by refractive errors. The primary goal of LASIK is to reduce a person’s dependence on glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea to improve how light is focused on the retina. During the procedure, a laser is used to create a thin flap in the cornea, which is then lifted to allow another laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue.
This correction aims to enhance vision clarity and reduce or eliminate the need for corrective lenses. LASIK is widely recognized for its effectiveness and quick recovery time, making it a popular choice for vision correction..
