Manhattan Lasik Surgery

LASIK, an acronym for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a refractive surgery procedure intended for correcting the vision in order to reduce a person's dependency on corrective devices, such as glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is usually a preferred alternative to PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy, as it requires less time for full recovery, and the patient experiences less pain overall.

LASIK is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. A knife, called a microkeratome, is used to cut a flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middle section of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced.
