    LASIK Surgery: Not for Everyone

    I guess you’re all familiar with refractive surgery – surgery that corrects visual acuity with the purpose of lowering or eliminating the need for contacts and glasses. Well, in today’s fast-paced technological world, one of the the bulk commonly performed refractive surgery is what the experts call as “LASIK”. You may hear people calling it “LASIX”, but the name actually stands for “Laser-Assisted-In-Situ-Keratomileusis”.

    Now, what basically is LASIK?

    It is given that LASIK is a surgical regimen intended to alleviate or remove the person’s dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This regimen is actually “outpatient”, thus you have the chance to go home after the operation. It is performed by a refractive surgeon in order to correct any refractive troubles like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

    Basically, the LASIK surgery permanently modifications the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, with the use of excimer laser. Also, a knife, medically known as microkeratome, is used to cut a flap in the cornea. Then, a hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, which is the middle section of the cornea. The regimen further involves vaporization of a portion of the stroma, and that what allows you to smell somewhat like a burning hair during the procedure. After which, the flap is re-placed on its original position.
