LASIK
How LASIK Works
- Preparation: Your eye is numbed with topical anesthetic drops.
- Flap Creation: A thin flap is made in the cornea using a laser or microkeratome.
- Reshaping: The underlying corneal tissue is reshaped with an excimer laser to correct the refractive error.
- Repositioning: The flap is carefully repositioned, where it begins to heal naturally without stitches.
The entire procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes per eye and is performed while you're awake, though you may be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
Benefits
