LASIK (laser-assisted in http://www.columbus2020.com/ situ keratomileusis) is a type of refractive laser eye surgery performed by ophthalmologists for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The procedure is generally preferred to photorefractive keratectomy, PRK, (also called ASA, Advanced Surface Ablation) because it requires less bout for the patient's recovery, and the patient feels less pain, overall; however, there are instances where PRK/ASA is medically indicated as a more fitting alternative to LASIK. |

After the laser deadbeat reshaped the stromal layer, the LASIK flap is carefully repositioned over the treatment distance by the surgeon and checked for the presence of aura bubbles, debris, and proper fit on the eye. The flap remains in reference by natural adhesion until healing is completed.
