Intro To LASIK Surgery

Thanks to laser eye surgeries such as LASIK, problems like nearsightedness and farsightedness are no longer an issue for millions of people around the globe! In 2019 alone, more than 23 million people underwent LASIK procedures in the United States to correct their vision problems! Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a laser surgery that can permanently reshape the corneal tissue to help you see better without glasses or contact lenses. It helps the light bends correctly and focuses on your retina. During surgery, doctors use an excimer laser to produce a concentrated beam of cool ultraviolet (UV) light to remove a tiny part of corneal tissue. Interestingly, the first LASIK surgery was performed in the United States in 1991.
