If you are suffering from Myopia or Hyperopia and you don't want to wear glasses, then maybe LASIK is for you. LASIK is an acronym for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis. "In situ" is basically Latin for "in place" while Keratomileusis is a surgical procedure to improve the refractive state of the cornea.
Before LASIK, Keratomileusis is done using a cryolathe where thin flaps of corneal tissue are frozen and the lathe shapes the eye lens in a similar manner as the lens of a pair of eye glasses are shaped.

About the time that people hit middle age, they start noticing a number of changes in their bodies and one of the changes that will often motivate people to see a doctor is when their vision is compromised. Considering that the baby-boomer generation has hit middle age and beyond, it is no wonder why Lasik laser eye surgery has become increasingly popular in recent years, as a way to counter the effects of vision deterioration.

LASIK surgery is performed by an eye doctor to fix a patients vision. The surgery can be done on patients who are near sighted (can't see far away) or patients who are far sighted (can't see up close). Over 85% of patients with these conditions are eligible for laser eye surgery.

LASIK eye surgery has been performed on more than one million of people in the world. Almost all of them are satisfied with the results - they have been able to eliminate the dependence on corrective eyewear and most of them even don't need prescribed glasses or contacts to see and read anymore.

This allows the surgeon to see refractive aberrations in 3D. This map will later guide the laser in its reshaping of your eye's corneal surface to correct vision irregularities. Here's the lowdown on wavefront Lasik.
