If you wear specs or contact lenses, you might think of surgery as a permanent solution for corrective Vision. Lasik is a surgical, corrective measure for eyesight. Millions of people are adopting LASIK to enhance their vision and quality of life eventually.

Here are some basics about LASIK.

What is LASIK?

LASIK  stands for In-situ keratomileusis. It is a popular vision corrective surgery for near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism. In the surgery, a laser reshapes the cornea ( an outermost dome-shaped and transparent layer of eyes)- to better focus light on the retina( innermost layer of the eye).

Before planning, LASIK, here are some  basics you need to know

• LASIK is done to a very delicate part of the eye
• It cannot be reversed.
• According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology ( AAO), every 9 out of ten patients achieve 20/20 to 20/40 vision after LASIK. It has up to 95% success rates.

Why Is It Done? 

LASIK can help in correcting the following vision problems:

• Near-Sightedness(myopia):

 It is a condition in which you can see near objects fairly clear but not distant objects.

• Farsightedness ( hypermetropia)

It is a condition in which the eye focuses light behind the retina, making near as well as distant vision blurry.

• Astigmatism:

 It is a condition when the cornea flattens, which disrupts near and far-off vision.
LASIK Procedure
The procedure is as follows:
Step1: The eyes are moistened
Step 2:  A suction ring is positioned on the eyes to refrain eye movement and cornea’s incorrect position.
Step 3: A thin flap of cornea is cut or incised out
 Step 4: The laser reshapes underlying corneal tissue, and the doctor replaces the flap, which adheres quickly in the place
Step 5: Since no stitches are made, clear plastic is palace over the eyes to protect the flap.
