During the LASIK procedure, a specially trained eye specialist first creates a precise, thin hinged corneal flap using a microkeratome. The specialist then pulls back the flap to expose the underlying corneal tissue, and then the excimer laser ablates reshapes the cornea in a unique pre-specified pattern for each patient.

The actual procedure usually takes less than 10 minutes per eye. Depending on the recommendation of your specialists, and the amount of correction needed, the laser itself only takes 20-50 seconds to correct your vision.

LASIK is a procedure that uses a laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. In LASIK, a thin flap in the cornea is created using either a microkeratome blade or a femtosecond laser. The specialist folds back the flap, then removes some corneal tissue underneath using an excimer laser.
