Two Minute Laser Refractive Surgery to Put Away Eye glasses

However, in refractive surgery, a thin slice of the cornea (the thickness of a contact lens) is lifted using a microkeratome. The cornea is shaped accordingly, that is, it is flattened if the patient is myopic (short-sighted), steepened if the patient is hypermetropic (long-sighted) and reshaped in astigmatic patients (patients whose corneas are oval in shape).

LASIK surgery utilizes the accuracy and precision of the excimer laser to change the shape of the cornea to improve the way light is focused or refracted by the eye.

"The patient feels no pain, and the procedure takes approximately two to five minutes to complete before the patient resumes the normal eye blinking with already corrected eyes."
