LASIK or Laser In Situ Keratomileusis, LASIK was first performed in 1989 by an Ophthalmologist in Greece. LASIK Surgery has become the treatment of choice for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

LASIK Eye Surgery is performed essentially as follows:

To begin your LASIK procedure a staff member will place a series of eye drops in your eyes to make them numb so that you do not feel any discomfort during your LASIK surgery. The LASIK Surgeon will then use either a specialized highly precise instrument to create a very fine layer through about one third of the front surface of the cornea. This makes a "flap" of clear tissue on the central part of the eye. The resulting "flap" is approximately 160 microns thick (about 1/3 the thickness of human hair) and about 9 millimeters in diameter (much wider than the pupil).

Once this flap is created, the physician gently folds the flap back, exposing the underlying cornea. It is then possible for the LASIK surgeon to apply the actual laser treatment to reshape the cornea. The excimer laser is then applied in a specific pattern that has been determined from your measurement data. The number of spots and the pattern of application are delivered under computer control and monitored by the LASIK surgeon so that the curvature of the cornea is altered to achieve the desired correction. Upon completion of the laser aspect of the treatment, the flap is gently laid back into its original position over the treated corneal tissue. Because the cornea has unique bonding qualities, the flap will simply adhere to the underlying surface without the need for stitches.

Upon completion of the treatment, an eye shield may be applied. The patient goes home with a mild "something in the eye" feeling, comes back the next day to have the shield removed, and might have excellent vision immediately.
