LASIK Eye Surgery To Treat Your Eye Condition
LASIK is the most common form of Laser Eye Surgery and is suitable for over 90% of patients. It offers the least discomfort and the fastest recovery time of any laser eye surgery. In fact, most patients can be back at work within 24 hours. Find out if you are a suitable candidate for LASIK eye surgery.
What Is LASIK?
Treating both eyes with LASIK surgery takes around 15 minutes. The eye surgeon uses either a computer-controlled instrument or a laser to create a very thin, circular flap of tissue in the outer cornea. This flap is folded back to expose the bed of the cornea, before the laser removes a precise, pre-set amount of corneal tissue. The flap is replaced, and is almost instantly held in place by the natural processes of the eye. In most cases, the flap will have effectively healed within a few hours.
