LASIK is a popular eye surgery that helps people see clearly without glasses or contact lenses. The procedure uses a laser to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, allowing light to focus properly on the retina. Most patients experience quick results and minimal discomfort, making it a convenient option for those with vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. During the surgery, a thin flap is created in the cornea to access the underlying tissue. The laser then removes tiny amounts of tissue to improve vision. Recovery is usually fast, with many people returning to their normal activities within a day or two.
