Lasik can be a permanent alternative to eyeglasses and contact lenses!
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis or more commonly known as LASIK is a type of refractive surgery for correcting astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia. The procedure is performed by using a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye’s cornea in order to improve visual acuity. In most cases, the LASIK procedure provides a permanent alternative to eyeglasses and contact lenses.
