What Is Laser Surgery ?

Laser eye surgery is a highly advanced and effective procedure used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia. It utilizes precise laser technology to reshape the cornea, improving how light enters the eye and enhancing overall vision. This procedure is a popular alternative to glasses and contact lenses, offering long-term vision correction with minimal downtime. One of the most well-known types of laser eye surgery is LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), where a thin flap is created on the cornea, and an excimer laser is used to reshape the underlying tissue. The flap is then repositioned, allowing for quick healing and rapid vision improvement.
