 What is the laser surgery?

Laser surgeryissurgerythat uses

alaser(instead of a scalpel) to cut tissue. ...
Techniques used include LASIK, which is used to
correct near and far-sightedness in vision, and
photorefractive keratectomy, a procedure which
permanently reshapes the cornea using an
excimerlaserto remove a small amount of tissue.
What happens when you have laser eye surgery?

During LASIK eye surgery, an instrument called a

microkeratome or femtosecondlaseris used to
create a thin flap in the cornea. The cornea flap is
then painlessly peeled back and the underlying
corneal tissue is reshaped using another laser.
 How do they perform Lasik eye surgery?

First, youreye surgeonuses either a

mechanical surgical tool called a
microkeratome or a femtosecondlaserto
create a thin, circular "flap" in the
cornea. ... Thesurgeonthen folds back the
hinged flap to access the underlying
cornea (called the stroma) and removes
some corneal tissue using an excimerlaser.
What type of laser is used in laser
eye surgery?
Once the flap is created, theexcimer
laseris used to reshape the cornea,
which corrects the refractive error. PRK is
the second most common type of laser
eye surgery. PRK starts with the removal
of a portion of surface of the cornea or
epithelial tissue.
 Is there any pain with
Lasik?

In most cases, PRK andLASIKdoes not hurt

during or immediately after the procedure.
Before yourLASIKeyesurgerybegins,
numbing eye drops are used to alleviate
anypainor discomfort to the eye during
the procedure. ...LASIKdoes not hurt
during the procedure, however you may
feel some pressure on your eyes.
How long does it take for
Lasik surgery?

How long does it take to do LASIK? The

actual procedure usually takes less
than10 minutesper eye. Depending
on your prescription, and the amount
of correction needed, the laser itself
only takes20-50 secondsto correct
your vision.
What are the side effects of laser eye surgery?

As with any surgery, LASIK eye surgery carries

risks, including:

Undercorrections.
Overcorrections.
Vision returning to pre-surgery vision.
Visual loss or changes.
Astigmatism.
Glare, halos and double vision.
Dry eyes.
Flap problems.
 Is Lasik surgery permanent?

In most cases the improved visionLASIKsurgery

provides ispermanent. But in a limited number of cases
usually due to changes that can occur in the lens
inside the eye, with or withoutLASIKsurgery some
near-sightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism
can return over time, causing blurry vision.
What is the success rate of laser eye surgery?

LASIK has a remarkable success rate,

with96%of patients achieving 20/20 vision or
better, according to the American Society of
Cataract and Refractive Surgery. LASIK eye
surgery is a permanent procedure that corrects
vision problems such as near-sightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism.
