First of all, let’s understand about LASIK eye surgery

The popular LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) eye technique is used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. A laser is used in this minimally invasive technique to reshape the cornea of the eye, which improves how light is directed onto the retina.

During the procedure, a microkeratome or femtosecond laser is used to make a tiny flap on the cornea’s surface while the patient is under local anesthetic. The flap is then raised, and using a laser and a digital map of the patient’s eye, the underlying cornea is reshaped. The flap is carefully repositioned after the cornea has been modified, and the eye is then allowed to heal normally.

The success rate of LASIK surgery is relatively high, and it can considerably enhance a patient’s vision. Most patients are only mildly to moderately uncomfortable during the operation, and they are able to resume their regular activities in a few days. But, just like any surgical process, LASIK surgery carries some potential dangers and adverse effects, such as dry eyes, halos or glare, and over- or under-correction of vision.

It’s crucial to remember that not everyone qualifies for LASIK surgery. Patients must fulfill a number of requirements, including having stable vision for at least a year, having a specific amount of refractive error, and being free from any underlying eye problems. Whether LASIK surgery is a suitable and safe option for you, a full consultation with an expert ophthalmologist can help.
