What is Lasik Surgery
What does
Lasik mean?
LASIK
means Laser in situ keratosmileusis. In other words it is using Laser to alter
the shape of the cornea – hence the word keratosmileusis which stands for the
Greek work Keratoeidis (cornea) and smileusis (reshape). The Lasik method is
credited to Ioannis Palikaris from Greece and it involves reshaping the cornea
in such a way that it treats refractive problems and improves vision to
eliminate the need of glasses (or contacts). Lasik is used to correct refractive
errors and to improve the vision by providing sharp vision. Today Lasik is the
most common type of refractive eye surgery used in the world.
Applications
Laser Eye Surgery
Loosing the ability to see the world clearly is a problem
many people face on a daily basis, there are many reasons why a person's sight
can fail such as genetics, age and specific conditions that affect the vision.
Some of the conditions that affect a person's ability to see clearly are
myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia.
It's foolhardy to think that any type of surgery is risk
free and laser eye surgery is no different. The question you have to ask
yourself is whether the benefits of having this type of procedure outweigh the
risks and in most cases patients will choose the former.
So, how are the results? The results are surprising. This
fresh method gives enduring a sharper apparition. After having LASIK, the
apparition can be sharper than while on glasses or phone lens. Some patients
can even notice better than 20/20. It is too understood to condensed halos and
night glare.
Benefit of Laser Surgery
The human eye is one of the most vital organs because our
vision affects almost every activity of our life. Too many people suffer from myopia,
astigmatism or hyperopia and this used
to mean that they have to live with glasses or contact
lenses for the rest of their lifes. However thanks to laser eye surgery this is
no longer the case.
Advantages
A successful laser eye surgery means that you are able to
see well without having to wear glasses or contacts any more. This also means
improved appearance for people that hate wearing glasses. People who have been
through laser eye surgery can choose among all the sunglasses that are
available on the world. No more custom sunglasses for myopia, hyperopia and
astigmatism! No more cleaning

In many cases, LASIK eye surgery can eliminate your need for
corrective lenses, but that's not always the result. Sometimes, LASIK will
drastically reduce your dependence on corrective lenses, but you may still
require corrective lenses for some activities, such as reading. It's best to
think of LASIK as reducing your dependency upon corrective lenses - not
necessarily as eliminating your need for them.

the basic knowledge about it. Lasik surgery is the most commonly used with
great results but for many people PRK surgery is going to be a better option.
