Lasik Vision Correction

Lasik Vision Correction (a.k.a. Laser Eye Correction) is the eye surgery performed for correcting the myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. This is an old technique that has been used since 1950's but it has been very popular with the latest advancements in the laser technology.

The Lasik Vision Correction is consisting of three phases. The patient's eye is immobilized and a flap is created using a metal microkeratome. There is also a new technique know as IntraLASIK in which a laser microkeratome is used instead of a metal one. The flap is lifted and an excimer laser is applied to the patient's cornea. This is the phase which the patient's vision problems are corrected. The excimer laser remodels the tissue below the cornea and when the process is finished the flap is closed.

After the eye laser surgery patients are told to keep their eyes away from direct sunlight, avoid rubbing and keeping their eyes healthy to avoid any post surgical complications. It's normal to have itchy eye for a few days but be sure not to rub your eyes. You will use eye drops and antibiotics to avoid infections for a few weeks. When you go back for check-up and your bandages are taken off, the doctor examines your eyes and you will know if you have clear vision or not.
