LASIK

Laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) involves creating a corneal flap so that midstromal tissue can be ablated directly and reshaped with an excimer laser beam. The procedure allows the ophthalmologist to surgically reshape the cornea in an attempt to obviate the need for corrective lenses

LASIK produces good refractive results for low, moderate, and high myopia Potential complications of LASIK include halos, interface inflammation, haze, and regression. However, significant complications causing a loss of two or more lines of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) are rare . In addition, with improved instrumentation and increasing surgeon experience, LASIK complication rates continue to fall. The size of the optical zone and the depth and profile of the laser ablation will determine the correction achieved
