LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) surgery is a widely used procedure for correcting refractive vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The surgery involves reshaping the cornea using a laser to improve the way light enters the eye, helping the patient achieve clearer vision.

During the procedure, the cornea is flattened or steepened, depending on the refractive error. LASIK surgery is quick, minimally painful, and typically performed under local anesthetic eye drops.

Most patients experience improved vision within a day or two, and the surgery is highly effective in reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
