Lasik is eye surgery using the latest in technology of laser eye equipment that re-shapes the cornea and is also known as refractive eye surgery. In Lasik eye surgery, the eye surgeon will firstly cut a small, hinged flap of tissue from the front of the cornea with an instrument called a Microkeratome. The specialized laser machines are used to reshape the underlying protein fibers of the cornea. This reshaping is based on precise measurements made by the eye doctor during the evaluation examination. When the laser reshaping is done, the corneal flap is moved back into place and the procedure is complete. Because the cornea heals quickly, many people who have Lasik surgery notice dramatic improvements in vision almost immediately.
