LASIK Eye Surgery

LASIK eye surgery stands for laser assisted in Boston Lasik. The surgery involves the reshaping of the cornea. There are many people who rely on glasses or contact lenses for reading or seeing distance. LASIK is a surgery that helps in getting rid of contact lenses and living a life free from glasses.

The process is safe as it is performed very precisely by expert doctors. The cornea is cut and reshaped depending upon the degree of eye defect. The procedure is carried out with state-of-the-art equipment and lasers are used to restructure the cornea. The time taken to perform the surgery is less than an hour.

During surgery the patient is given a local anaesthetic in order to make the procedure painless. The laser is then used to cut a flap in the cornea. Once the cornea is cut it is reshaped to correct the vision. The flap is then closed carefully to avoid the formation of air bubbles or the entry of dust or any other foreign particles.

The patient has to use certain prescribed eye-drops before and after surgery and immediately after surgery the patient needs to wear dark glasses in order to avoid direct sunlight. The surgery is extremely beneficial and though it comes with a price attached to it, the price is modest compared to the rewards.
