LASIK is an acronym for Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis. I guess the people who invented it didn’t like the sound of LAISK surgery so they switched the “I” with the “S”. Despite the lack of acronym-making skills, their laser eye surgery procedure has been a godsend for hundreds of thousands around the world. There’s little argument that LASIK surgery is a wonderful vision correction procedure, but what exactly is it?

Lasik procedure is one of the greatest ways to improve one's vision. However, before jumping into it, it is important to find a doctor that you can fully trust and confide in.

You may be wondering if you qualify as a candidate for the Lasik procedure. Though every case should be discussed with a qualified Lasik doctor, there are some general guidelines to see if you qualify for Lasik vision correction. First, your eye needs to be fully developed. Anyone under the age of 18 will most likely not qualify for Lasik procedure. If you're under 18 its likely that the shape of your eye will continue to develop over the next several years. This would complicate your results of the Lasik vision correction procedure.
