For millions of people across the world who wear glasses or contact lenses and have always yearned to be without them, LASIK is a dream come true.
LASIK is short for Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis. It represents the simple technique of raising a very thin flap of the clear membrane of the eye, and then simply reshaping the cornea with a controlled laser beam, so that a clear and sharp image of the object viewed, falls on the retina of the eye. This removes dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
