Lasik Explained

During Lasik Eye Surgery, an eye surgeon uses a microkeratome blade to make a small incision on the patient’s eye. The portion of the eye where the flap is created is called the cornea. Once the incision has been made, the surgeon folds it back to expose the inner portion of the eye, which is called the stoma. Then, the surgeon uses the laser to vaporize a small portion of the stoma, resulting in the eye being reshaped. This reshaping enables the patient to have significantly improved vision. Also, unlike the stoma, the cornea will then heal itself.
