LASIK is the number one choice of refractive surgeons and patients worldwide to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses. The 1st LASIK procedure was performed more than 17 years ago, and more than 14 million procedures have been performed in the US alone. LASIK treats low to high amounts of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure works by reshaping corneal tissue layers just beneath the outer surface of the eye. It is generally a painless procedure with a very quick recovery for most patients.
