These days, eyeglasses are a common sight, often a result of increased screen time. If you're tired of glasses and find contacts a hassle, LASIK could be the solution. LASIK, short for laser in-situ keratomileusis, is a transformative refractive surgery designed to permanently correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It offers a lasting alternative to wearing glasses.
So, why should you consider LASIK?
Glasses or contact lenses are designed to correct refractive errors, most commonly, nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Eyeglasses compensate for these imperfections of the cornea, which cause the refractive error so that we can see a clear picture. Although contact lenses are widely used by people who do not prefer eyeglasses, there is a permanent solution. You can ditch glasses and contact lenses completely with LASIK as it corrects these imperfections permanently.
In LASIK, the surgeon uses a special laser for precise and controlled corneal tissue removal to reshape the cornea. This changes its focusing power, thus correcting your blurry vision.
