LASIK Eye Surgery

What Is LASIK Eye Surgery?

A LASIK procedure uses an excimer laser to repair refractive problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. “Eye-cutting” is another name for this technique. To have myopia, one must be short-sighted, but to have hyperopia, one must be long-sighted.

On the other hand, astigmatism causes an uneven and blurred image because the light entering the eye hits numerous places on the retina at the same time. Corneal and eye lens astigmatism are the two most common causes for astigmatism. Refractive defects such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism can be corrected by eye laser surgery.

LASIK surgery is less time consuming, more successful, and less painless than traditional surgery. It’s a technique that eye doctors conduct all over the world, and patients don’t have to worry about it. The cornea is reshaped using an excimer laser beam to improve eyesight.

Eyelid surgery and laser eye surgery cost vary from patient to patient, depending on the depth and severity of the procedure.
