What Does LASIK Eye Surgery Fix?

Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a refractive surgery that reshapes your cornea through the use of lasers. LASIK uses an excimer laser to remove a thin layer of corneal tissue. It’s a quick and precise procedure that can correct a refractive error like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, giving you clear vision without glasses or contact lenses.

LASIK is typically painless, its results are immediate, and its recovery period is short. In many cases, our Dallas laser vision correction can be performed on both eyes in under 15 minutes, and since it’s an outpatient procedure, you will be able to relax in the comfort of your own home during the healing process.
