Why Do People Choose to Have Lasik?

WHAT IS LASIK SURGERY ?

LASIK is an advanced laser vision correction procedure which involves making a 

thin flap on the surface of the cornea with a Visumax Femtosecond laser, which 

is a precise flap-making instrument. In creating the flap, a hinge area is created at 

the twelve o’clock position, which allows the surgeon to lift the flap and to reshape

 the exposed cornea.

A state-of-the-art excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea, removing a precise

 amount of corneal tissue from the exposed corneal bed. The pre-operative 

examination determines the power of your eye, which enables us to calculate 

the amount of tissue to be removed. Recent prescriptions for your glasses or 

contact lenses are usually very close to these measurements.

During LASIK Surgery the flap is then laid back and within minutes natural 

forces hold it down on the cornea. The epithelium, or surface layer of the cornea, 

begins to grow over the cut edge within a few hours to seal the flap into position.

 Collagen bonds start to form within the cornea and around the edge of the flap 

within days, permanently sealing it.

Myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism can be

 treated using LASIK Eye Surgery. At this time, however, presbyopia cannot be

 corrected by laser treatments.
