Seven Places to Research Lasik Before Going to the Doctor
LASIK (Laser in Situ Keratomileusis) is very popular combined surgical and laser procedure that has helped millions of people around the world regain all or most of their failed vision. Basic Lasik is used mainly to correct myopia (shortsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) while the advanced Lasik procedure known as Custom Lasik is able to correct far more vision problems and, because of the advanced “wavefront” technology it uses, leave behind far fewer complications.
