LASIK (Laser-Assisted-In-Situ Keratomileusis) is currently one of the most frequently performed elective procedures in North America. It is a highly effective outpatient procedure that is suitable for most low, moderate and higher prescriptions. LASIK uses a cool beam of light from the excimer laser to gently reshape the front surface (cornea) of your eye. The LASIK Procedure Anesthetic drops are applied to the eye. A protective flap is created and gently lifted by the surgeon, revealing the inner corneal tissue. Computer-controlled pulses of cool laser light are applied to the inner layers of your cornea. As the laser pulses, it makes a ticking sound. The inner corneal layer is reshaped with the laser to mimic your contact lens or glasses prescription. The surgeon gently replaces the flap and aligns it to its original position. It heals naturally and securely. Some patients may feel slight irritation for a few hours, but most are quite comfortable after a nap and rest.
