LASIK or Laser-Assisted Insitu Keratomileusis is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, using an excimer laser. This is mainly indicated for those who dislike glasses or find that contact lenses are troublesome. The procedure is performed with an excimer laser and it is a painless procedure.

LASIK vision correction procedure corrects any corneal shaping that produces a patient's impaired vision. By removing corneal tissue and reshaping the cornea the patient receives improved vision. After LASIK patients will find that their vision improves immediately and will often be better than their original vision has ever been.

The patient is kept wide awake, but given a topical anesthetic eye drop that stops them from feeling any of the pain from the laser. If a patient has a history of anxiety, an anti- anxiety pill will be given during the procedure as well.
