Laser in-situ keratomileusis, LASIK, is an eye surgery that changes the shape of the corneal, so that one can see better

A person above twenty years can undergo LASIK, provided the number of the spectacles is stable

If one wants to undergo LASIK, there should be no pathology present in the cornea

The thickness of the cornea must be less than 450 millimetres, otherwise one cannot have LASIK eye surgery

One of the advantages of LASIK is that there is minimal or no pain after the operation has been completed

Recovery of vision is early after this eye surgery and there is minimal risk of perforation

LASIK can correct near-sightedness up to -12D, and may benefit people who do not wish to wear glasses

One of the disadvantages is that LASIK has some risk of flap related complications and irregular astigmatism

You must consult your ophthalmologist and take an informed decision before LASIK surgery
