How does LASIK surgery perform?

  • During LASIK Eye Surgery, the patient is given eye drops that are local anesthesia to numb the area and the surgery takes around 10-15 minutes to be completed.
  • Initially, eye surgeons create a thin corneal flap with the help of an instrument called a microkeratome.
  • Then, the surgeon draws the corneal flap to expose the underneath corneal tissue for reshaping.
  • With the help of an excimer laser, the reshaping of corneal tissue will be done.
  • The corneal flap is gently placed back to the position on the cornea without sutures.
  • After the surgery, surgeons might prescribe eye drops to avoid eye drying, infection, and inflammation.
