Many people today are facing various problems related to the vision. The major reason for the decrease in the vision is the decrease in the strength of the eye camera, called cornea. It is the most important part of a human eye. Any defect in the cornea tissues lead to the decrease in vision. One of the most effective and reliable method of curing such defects is the laser eye surgery. There are different types of laser eye surgeries for correcting the vision defects and LASIK is the most popular and common among them. LASIK is an acronym to Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis.

In this method, laser is used to correct various defects related to the cornea like farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism. It is performed by highly qualified surgeons as eye is a very delicate organ. In this a part of the cornea tissue is removed and thus the eye is reshaped. A thin flap which is made in the cornea is carefully laid in the place from where the tissues have been removed. Depending upon the problem faced by the person, the goal of this method of eye surgery is decided, whether to flatten the cornea or give shape to the irregular cornea. In other type of eye surgery, PRK, no flap is used.

For different vision corrections there are different types of LASIK surgery, namely, advanced surface ablation, abbreviated as ASA, blended vision and intraLASIK. In the first one, reshaping of the cornea is done without the creation of any flap. This is regarded as one of the safest ways among all the LASIK forms and the recovery time is also less. In blend vision, one eye is corrected for the nearsightedness and the other one is treated for farsightedness and thus both the problems are treated simultaneously. In the last type of LASIK, femtosecond laser is used for the creation of the corneal flap.

Here the flap created is thinner and the time taken for the complete process is also less. It is also regarded as the safe method of LASIK correction for the vision related defects. For caring out this

surgery, the surgeon has to examine the eye carefully and thus carry with the proceedings. There is no need for the patient to stay in the center for long. With the help of the computer, the surgeon adjusts the laser, targets the beam for small timings and thus reshapes the cornea of your eye. LASIK is a very less time consuming process and also the recovery period is small. People who got their eye treated with this method of eye surgery have few problems in the initial stages like slight blindness in the eyes but as a whole the method is safe and the problems are treated with the passage of time. Proper guidance by the doctor and adequate care will help you get rid of all your cornea related problems and thus you can see the world sound and clear.
