How is Lasik surgery performed?


Lasik is performed using a microscope with the use of local anesthetic. The procedure involves making a very small cut into the cornea and using the laser rays to reshape the cornea. The cut cornea is then stitched back. The surgery only takes 15-20 minutes for both eyes and one can go home in one hour. Various eye drops are instilled into the eyes for a few days. All patients are asked to wear eye goggles to protect the eye.
