What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a widely performed surgical procedure designed to reshape the cornea using precision excimer laser technology. It corrects common refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, allowing patients to enjoy clear vision without spectacles.
