LASIK is one of the most popular eye surgeries, commonly performed to correct vision problems. LASIK stands for Laser In Situ Keratomileusis. This surgery is performed for people who are nearsighted, farsighted or have astigmatism. It is a permanent alternative for corrective lenses, with effects only diminishing as the lens in the eye ages naturally.
Just like a camera lens focuses light on the film to create an image, the cornea in the human eye serves a similar function: it focuses light on the retina creating a picture processed by the brain. If there are imperfections on the cornea, the light is not focused precisely on the retina, causing blurry vision. These errors in the focusing power of our eye are known as refractive errors.
There are three types of refractive errors: Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism.
