What is LASIK?
LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is one of the most frequently performed procedures worldwide for correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The cornea is precisely reshaped using an excimer laser so that light is focused correctly onto the retina – for permanently clear vision without corrective lenses.
