LASIK eye surgery
The term LASIK stands
for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileuses. LASIK eye surgery is a medical
procedure performed on a patient who has eye problems. These eye problems can
be any of the following: being farsighted or nearsighted, and astigmatism.
Furthermore, LASIK eye surgery is performed
so that a person with any of the aforementioned eye problems would not have to
wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Nowadays, LASIK eye
surgery is one of the most common medical procedures that an eye doctor
performs on a patient. Once a patient decides
to undergo this kind of surgery, the shape of the cornea will be permanently
changed. This is because a rounded “flap” is created on the cornea. Afterwards,
with the use of laser or an instrument called the ‘microkeratome’, there is a
part of the eye which will be vaporized to correct the eye problem.
LASIK eye surgery has
become quite popular in the medical circle because of its painless-free
operation. One more advantage that it has over other medical procedures to
correct an imperfect vision is: the results are instantaneous. Right after the
operation, you just need to let a day or two pass and you will see a definite improvement
with your vision.
However, there are
some disadvantages to this type of medical procedure. First, the rates can be
quite steep so you better check with your eye doctor or ophthalmologist if you
plan to undergo such a surgery. Second, just like any other medical operation,
there are complications that the patient may suffer in the aftermath of the
operation. Third, some job types will not allow an employee to undergo any form
of eye surgery.
If you decide to go
for LASIK eye surgery, you need to do your part and research so that you will
know everything about the procedure. Also, have a thorough talk with your
doctor so that you would know what to do
before the operation. Finally, you can ask about the results and improvements
with your vision problem right after your LASIK eye surgery.
