• What Is Lasik Surgery?
• LASIK is the acronym for Laser-Assisted in
  Situ-Incision Keratomileusis. It is a type of
  refractive surgery used for vision correction. It
  is one of the effective, safe, and popular
  laser-based refractive surgeries. LASIK is
  carried out as an alternative for glasses and
  contact lenses. It permanently changes the
  changing the shape of the cornea. It helps in
  treating Near-sightedness, Farsightedness, and
  astigmatism eye defects. When the eye does not
  refract (bends) the light correctly, it leads to
  blurry vision.
• Why Is Lasik Eye Surgery Performed?
• LASIK surgery is carried out to correct the
  following eye disorders
• Near-sightedness  It is also known as MYOPIA. It
  occurs when the eye focuses the light in front of
  the retina. As a result, the far objects appear
  blurry, whereas nearby objects can be seen
  properly without any hassle. LASIK can be used
  when near-sightedness is up to the range of -1
  dioptres
• Farsightedness It is commonly known as
  HYPERMETROPIA. It occurs when the eye focuses the
  light behind the retina instead of on it. As a
  result, the nearby objects appear blurry and
  unclear, and things far away can be seen clearly.
  LASIK can treat farsightedness up to the range of
  6 dioptres
• Astigmatism  It occurs when the focus of both
  near and far vision is affected.

• Is There Some Eligibility Criteria One Needs To
  Meet To Get Lasik Done?
• There are specific criteria which are needed to
  be met to get LASIK done. LASIK is not for
  everyone. Your doctor must be transparent and
  honest with you. Several conditions are taken
  into consideration while deciding the
  eligibility. Some of the points which determine
  the eligibility for LASIK are
• A person must be 18 years or above.
• Should not be suffering from autoimmune diseases
  like HIVs, AIDS, Rheumatoid arthritis
• Have stable vision
• Should have an appropriate corneal thickness for
  surgery
• Should have no history of any eye disease,
  scarring, or infection
• The farsightedness is not age affected
• Should not be pregnant or nursing
• How Is Lasik Eye Surgery Performed?
• LASIK is a two steps process. It takes almost
  25-30 minutes to complete. In LASIK, the laser
  remains in contact with the cornea of the eye for
  60 seconds. First, the doctor administers the
  anaesthetic eye drops in the eye to numb the
  eyes. Then the doctor places an eyelid to prevent
  it from blinking. The surgeon guides the
  femtosecond laser to create a thin circular
  flap on the cornea. The flap is then folded
  back. It allows the surgeon to access the stoma
  (underlying cornea). Later, using the
  computer-guided laser, the surgeon injects a beam
  of ultraviolet light to remove the small part of
  the cornea. It is done to reshape the cornea.
  Once done, the light is refracted accurately on
  the retina. Then optic nerves transmit the
  message to the brain to convert it into a clear
  image. Without proper optic nerve functioning,
  the image produced is unclear and blurry.

• Are There Any Risks Or Side Effects Associated
  With The Process?
• LASIK is an advanced technology with a high
  success and patient satisfaction rate. However,
  all surgeries have some or other risks associated
  with them. However, the risks associated with
  LASIK are generally mild. As per the reports,
  only 1 of patients are seen to have a
  complication. These were are also temporary ones
  and improved with time.
• The significant risk associated with LASIK is
  flap complications which are flap wrinkling, flap
  breaking, displacing from its position, or debris
  trapped under the flap.
• Some side effects associated with LASIK are
• Mild pain
• Watery eyes or dry eyes
• Blurry or hazy vision
• Itching or burning in the eye
• The white part of eyes may look bloodshot and red
  for some days
• Sensitivity to light, glare, and haloes
  surrounding lights
• The doctor may prescribe some eye drops for the
  side effects. Kindly take the eye drops
  prescribed as directed. These are common with
  LASIK and will go away within a week.
• What Results Can You Expect After Lasik?
• You may experience ocular discomfort few hours
  after the surgery. The doctor may also provide
  eye drops to relieve the symptoms and reduce the
  risk of infection. You may expect a significant
  improvement in the vision the next day after the
  surgery. An experienced eye surgeon performs the
  surgery. It has a high patient satisfaction rate.
  The results have been so wonderful that many
  people dont consider the second LASIK. As per
  the latest report, more than 90 of patients have
  achieved perfect vision. It is important that to
  obtain the maximum benefit and perfect vision
  after LASIK eye surgery, you should strictly
  follow all the recommendations of your eye
  surgeon.
