Lasik Eye Surgery
LASIK eye surgery is a type of laser eye surgery that is used to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. LASIK is an acronym standing for laser in situ keratomileusis. The procedure uses a laser to reshape the cornea without invading the rest of the eye.
While a great number of people are eligible for this type of laser eye surgery, there are some factors that doctors must evaluate before they come to a decision about the eligibility of a candidate. Some doctors will not perform LASIK eye surgery if the patient possesses certain pre-existing conditions. Sometimes, there are factors that indicate a patient is not an ideal candidate for LASIK eye surgery. Even in such cases, a doctor may be able to safely perform the surgery as long as the patient understands the risks, benefits, and realistic expectations involved.
