Undergoing any kind of surgery is a big deal, but for most of us, that which involves the eyes is especially nerve-racking. Lasik eye surgery, used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, is an effective procedure and one that should be carried out by the most experienced of surgeons. Brent Bellotte MD., of the West Boca Eye Center, is the leading Lasik provider in South Florida. Here he discusses what the treatment entails.
Lasik eye surgery: the key facts
- What is Lasik?
- How does it work?
What is Lasik?
The acronym, Lasik, stands for “Laser in situ Keratomileusis”. It’s most commonly used to treat nearsightedness, but in certain cases can also be used for farsightedness and astigmatism. All of these conditions are caused by some kind of irregularity within the cornea. The Lasik procedure removes very thin layers, reshaping it to optimal levels and therefore restoring the quality of vision.
How does it work?
Whatever the reason for the procedure, Lasik eye surgery refocuses the way that light shines through the eye and its ability to focus. By efficiently removing tissue from the cornea the surgeon restructures the working of the eye(s) back to that of normality, so reducing or negating the need for any kind of visual aids (glasses or contacts).
