LASIK Laser Eye Treatment - LASIK Eye Surgery Prices
LASIK Laser Eye Surgery is a procedure used to correct vision. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. LASIK Eye Surgery is similar to other vision correction procedures such as PRK or Photo Refractive Keratectomy but with one main difference, which is that the outer layer of the eye is retained during surgery. As with a majority of vision corrective procedures LASIK Surgery works by altering the shape of the cornea.
LASIK Laser Eye Treatment can help to correct an irregular shaped cornea (astigmatism), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and short-sightedness (myopia).
The main difference between LASIK Surgery and LASEK Laser Eye Surgery is the tool which is used to make the incision ons the outer layer of the eye. In LASIK Eye Surgery a microkeratome or laser is used whereas in LASEK Surgery a trephine is used.

A microkeratome (highly precise instrument) is then used to make an incision into the outer layer of the eye to create a very thin flap. The flap is then lifted to allow a laser to reshape the cornea underneath. Once the desired results are achieved the flap is repositioned in order to heal naturally. The whole process takes approximately 5 minutes.
