LASIKBOOK.COM
LASIK is a surgical procedure intended to reduce a person's dependency
on glasses or contact lenses. The purpose of LASIKBOOK.COM is
to provide you with a concise and central place to find information
on LASIK eye surgery, doctors, clinics and other relevant LASIK
information.
There is a glossary of terms and a checklist of issues for you
to consider, practices to follow, and questions to ask your doctor
before undergoing LASIK surgery.
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is
a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea,
the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser.
A knife, called a microkeratome, is used to cut a flap in the
cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded
back revealing the stroma, the middlesection of the cornea. Pulses
from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma
and the flap is replaced. There are other techniques and many
new terms related to LASIK that you may hear about
