Over the years, an increasing number of people are taking interest in LASIK laser eye surgery to find out if they are eligible for the operation, and can eliminate the use of spectacles and contact lenses. With the use of laser technology, refractive laser surgery is carried out to reshape the cornea in a corrective LASIK surgery center. A small flap on the cornea of your eye is cut by the eye surgeon. Cornea tissue is then exposed by folding that flap. After that, the laser will remove the tissues that are not required on the cornea and reshape it. Then, the flap will be replaced on the cornea. The cornea is allowed to heal by itself, as you cannot stitch it. Ask our cataract surgeon more about this process. He will also be able to answer your questions about toric lens implants.

In almost all the cases, patients who undergo this LASIK eye surgery will get back their 20/40, and in many cases, restored 20/20 vision. Only a few people complained about not getting the desired result. This happens if the cornea tissues are not removed accurately according to the requirement. However, the precision of the technique is so accurate that the chances are rare for any of this to happen. A corneal transplant is becoming much more routine these days.
