Are you tired of depending on glasses or contact lenses for everyday activities? If you are considering laser vision correction, a professional eye examination is an important first step.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct certain vision problems, including short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. The procedure aims to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, although some patients may still need corrective lenses after surgery.

What Is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK is a type of laser refractive surgery that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. This adjustment changes how light is focused onto the retina, helping correct certain refractive errors.
LASIK is commonly considered for people who want to reduce their dependence on:
However, LASIK is not suitable for everyone. A detailed eye examination is necessary to determine whether the procedure is appropriate for an individual's eyes and vision requirements.
Vision Problems LASIK May Help Correct
1. Myopia (Short-Sightedness)
Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry while nearby objects may remain clear. LASIK can correct certain levels of myopia by changing the corneal shape.
2. Hyperopia (Long-Sightedness)
Hyperopia can make close-up tasks difficult and may also affect distance vision, depending on its severity. Selected patients may be candidates for laser correction.
3. Astigmatism
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens has an irregular curvature, causing blurred or distorted vision. LASIK may correct certain types and degrees of astigmatism.
