LASIX actually stands for Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. It is a type of refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea of the eye in order to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. And, perhaps one basic thing to note about LASIK is that, it is an outpatient procedure performed by a refractive surgeon. So being outpatient, you can take LASIK and go home afterwards. Now, what is involved in the LASIK procedure? Basically, a medical device known as microkeratome is used in LASIK eye surgery to create a thin, circular flap in the cornea. The surgeon will fold the flap back out of the way, then extract some corneal tissue underneath with the use of an excimer laser. The excimer laser uses a cool ultraviolet light beam to precisely remove the very tiny bits of tissue from the cornea to reshape it. When the reshaping is done in the right way, it is said that the reshaped cornea works better to focus light into the eye and onto the retina, providing clearer vision then before. The flap is then laid back in place, covering the area where the corneal tissue was removed.
