Lasik
LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure that uses a laser to correct refractive errors, which are vision problems caused by the shape of the eye. These errors include hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia (nearsightedness), and astigmatism (irregular curvature of the cornea). During the procedure, the surgeon uses an excimer laser, which is a type of cold laser that is controlled by a computer, to reshape the cornea. This helps to correct the refractive error and improve vision. LASIK is a commonly performed procedure that has a high success rate and can offer a significant improvement in vision for many people.
There are four primary types of LASIK.
- Waterfront-guided LASIK: This type utilizes measurements of how light goes through the eye to target individual vision and eye anatomy.
- All-laser LASIK: This type uses a femtosecond laser in place of a surgical blade.
- Wavefront-optimized or wavefront-guided LASIK: This type uses detailed cornea curvature measurements to preserve the front surface of the eye’s natural aspheric shape.
- Topography-guided LASIK: This type uses mapping technologies for a more tailored treatment.
This is one of the simplest and most popular eye surgeries in the world, created to improve vision in people who have refractive errors like astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness. People with nearsightedness, or myopia, are most likely to benefit from this procedure, but improvements in the LASIK process mean that people with other refractive errors can benefit too.
This operation was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1999. In the 30 years since, more than 90 percent of LASIK patients report high levels of satisfaction with their results.
LASIK takes about 15 minutes per eye to perform, including adding numbing eye drops and replacing the corneal flap after reshaping. Most people can return to work or school the day after the surgery, although you should wait for a few days or weeks before resuming moderate or vigorous activities.
