What is LASIK laser vision correction?

In Lasik, a thin flap of the cornea is lifted in a single sheet to permit laser treatment of the eye's exposed inner surface. Following the procedure, the corneal flap is repositioned. The corneal tissue has extroardinary natural bonding qualities that allow effective healing with-out the use of stitches.

Benefits:

Laser vision correction is the solution for many individuals who are dependant on contacts and glasses to see clearly. Laser vision correction can effectively eliminate or reduce nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism resulting in decreased dependancy on corrective lenses.

Risks:

Laser vision correction has passed extensive scrutiny from public health agencies and medical professionals. After more then a decade of research, complications seriously affecting vision are reported at a rate much less then one percent. As with all medical procedures, there are challenges and risks associated with laser vision correction and you should discuss these risks with your doctor.
