Laser Eye Surgery Treatments
LASIK Surgery
LASIK corrects your eye condition according to the power of your glasses or contacts. It is the most popular and successful vision correction procedure, combining conventional surgery with sophisticated laser technology.
The LASIK procedure involves two steps. Firstly, a specially designed
Microkeratome or Laser is used to create a paper thin flap on the
front surface of the cornea which is then folded back.
The second step involves the use of a cool beam excimer laser to reshape the cornea to your specific refractive requirements, similar to your glasses or contact lens prescription, by removing microscopic layers of tissue from the cornea.
After the laser treatment is completed, the flap is carefully re-positioned to cover the newly contoured corneal tissue.
The cornea has amazing natural bonding qualities, and almost immediately the flap adheres to the underlying tissue, eliminating the need for sutures. The result is almost immediate with people appreciating better vision within minutes of the procedure.
