About this treatment
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a refractive eye surgery that reshapes the cornea using laser technology to improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is commonly used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK is minimally invasive, painless, and provides rapid visual recovery for most patients.
