About LASIK Eye Surgery

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. It reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses. Success rates exceed 96%.

What to Expect

Eye-numbing drops are applied. A thin flap is created on the cornea using a femtosecond laser. The excimer laser reshapes the cornea underneath. The flap is repositioned. The procedure takes 10–15 minutes per eye. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision within 24 hours.
