Lasik stands for "laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis" and is a quick and relatively simple procedure that uses laser technology to reshape the cornea in order to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. During the procedure, an ophthalmologist will make an incision in the cornea and apply a computer guided laser to reshape it. The procedure itself typically takes no more than 15 minutes per eye, and many patients report little to no discomfort during the surgery.
One of the most significant benefits of Lasik is improved vision without glasses or contact lenses. Lasik can correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism with long-term results. After successful Lasik surgery, many people are able to pass a driving test without the need for corrective lenses.
