Lasik Profiling On The Corneas

Lasik eye surgery is increasingly gaining popularity as the most preferred method for improving vision surgically. Before performing a Lasik procedure the eye surgeon has to assess the patient's compatibility and risk factor with regards to Lasik surgery.

Only after the individual has been deemed compatible for Lasik eye surgery does the doctor then discuss the various options available.Of the various techniques of Lasik vision correction surgery, using an excimer laser is the most common. This technique has been in use for vision correction surgery since 1987. The excimer laser profiles the cornea, enabling the surgeon to get the best results possible for surgery. Lasik vision correction surgery is the best option for individuals with moderate to low vision problems.

The outcome of Lasik eye surgery is drastically improved by the ability of profiling the cornea using the excimer laser.There are no guarantees for any surgery and Lasik surgery is no exception. Some patients would still require corrective lenses even after undergoing Lasik surgery. Lasik eye surgery involves creating an extremely thin, circular flap in the outer layer of the cornea. The excimer laser removes tiny pieces of corneal tissue at a time using cool ultraviolet rays.

The entire Lasik corrective eye surgery takes about one to two minutes. If Lasik surgery is required in both eyes, the doctor waits a while after performing Lasik on the first eye before proceeding on to the second eye. Using an excimer laser to profile the cornea has many advantages. Often there are uncontrollable eye movements that occur during surgery. This gives the Lasik surgeon full control during surgery and can positively influence the outcome of the surgery. The benefits of Lasik vision correction surgery and its high success rate far outweigh the low risks and discomfort associated with this surgery.
