What is LASIK^®?
LASIK^®(Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) is an advanced laser vision correction procedure where a thin, protective flap of corneal tissue is lifted using an advanced instrument called a Microkeratome, then the middle layer of the cornea is reshaped using an Eximer laser.

What are the benefits of LASIK^®?
LASIK^® offers precision, control and safety. Because LASIK^® does not require stitches, healing time and discomfort is reduced, as well as the need for postoperative medication. Generally patients can resume their normal activities within days of their procedure.

What are the possible drawbacks?
Some problems secondary to LASIK^® include:

• Undercorrection
• Overcorrection
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Inflammatory conditions
• Glare sensitivity
• Halos
• Dry eye
• Healing abnormalities
