Procedure

1. The LASIK procedure is performed by ophthalmologists, medical doctors who are specialized in the surgical treatments of the eye. Here is a general outline of the technique: Anesthetic eye drops are applied to the eye.
2. The LASIK surgeon will makes a protective flap to access the inner corneal tissue. During this part of the procedure, your vision may dim & become blurry for about a minute. After the flap is created patients are able to see the flashing fixation light of the laser & the bright lights used in the procedure.
3. Next the inner layers of the cornea will receive computer-controlled pulses of cool laser light. Even though the laser light is invisible, the laser will makes a clicking sound as it will gently reshapes the inner corneal layer to get better & in many cases, eliminate your prescription. During this particular part of the procedure, an eye-tracking device will tracks your eye movements to ensure the precise correction.
4. Following the re-shaping of tissue, the LASIK surgeon carefully repositions & aligns the flap to its original position. Protective shields were placed over the eye to avoid from the accidental rubbing as the flap will heals naturally & securely in the next several hours.
5. After the LASIK eye procedure, patients may feel moderate discomfort & irritation for a few hours, but most of the patients will be comfortable after a nap & rest.
