| What is LASIK Surgery? |
Any person who has any kind of problem related to eyesight, such as using glasses or wearing lenses, etc. Lasik surgery is done for those people, so that the glasses or lenses on their eyes are permanently removed. But this surgery is not useful for people who have very weak eyesight.
What is The Procedure for LASIK Surgery?
The laser surgery procedure takes a total of 15 minutes and the person has to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 hours. The way to do this process is as follows:
- First, the person's eyes are numbed by putting eye-drops and a medicine is given to eat.
- Doctors use a lid speculum (name of an instrument) to stop the blinking process of a person's eyelids.
- Then a device is used to keep the eye still, so that the person may feel slight pressure on the eye.
- By creating a flap in the cornea of the eye, a computer-controlled excimer laser is pulsed light directly onto the eye.
- The cornea is then brought back into shape.
- Eventually, surgeons re-install the cornea flap and it begins to heal within a few hours.
