LASIK or laser in situ keratomileusis is considered to be one the highly advanced eye surgeries, which is meant for correcting refractive errors. It helps people to overcome problems such as myopia, astigmatism or hyperopia. In the year 1950 a well-known ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer introduced this latest technique of LASIK eye surgery.   

In this procedure usually the lasik surgeon utilizes an excimer laser for giving improved laser vision to the patients. If this eye surgery is done properly, it will be able to eliminate a person’s dependency on glasses and contact lenses. 

The primary aim of lasik surgery is to alter a cornea’s shape through the use of highly specialized laser. If you have made up your mind to do this surgery on your eye, the first thing you should do is to go through the pre-screening process. This makes you aware about the bright and dark side of the Lasik surgery and prepares you for the operation.
