Laser
Assisted Insitu Keratomileusis
LASIK
is a procedure used to correct or reduce moderate to high levels
of myopia.
|
|
In
LASIK, the surgeon
creates a flap in the cornea using a surgical instrument called
a microkeratome.
|
|
|
The
surgeon uses the laser to remove a micro-thin layer of tissue
from the exposed corneal surface.
|
|
|
The flap is replaced without the need for sutures. |
