Procedure information and technique
LASIK is one of a number of solutions for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. With LASIK, the Microkeratome is used to shave the cornea to create a flap. The flap then is opened to expose tissue just below the cornea's surface. Next, the Excimer laser is used to remove ultra-thin layers from the cornea to reshape it to reduce nearsightedness or farsightedness and astigmatism. Finally, the flap is returned to its original position, without sutures.
