What is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK is considered by most refractive surgeons to be the gold standard of laser eye corrective surgery.
What does LASIK involve? It involves reshaping the cornea, like all other laser eye surgeries, but specifically, by creating a small flap in the front of the cornea. The cornea is the clear part of the front of the eye.
