LASIK Treatment

LASIK is one of the most popular eye correction surgery in the world. It is designed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

The hallmark of LASIK is the corneal flap. Here, Dr. Hyver creates a thin flap of corneal tissue, which he lifts, exposing the underlying tissue. He then applies the laser to this exposed tissue, and then restores the flap over the treated area, preserving the new correction (see animation below).

Since the eye is essentially restored, visual recovery is typically rapid and there is usually little post-op discomfort. In fact, most patients can return to their normal lifestyles the following day.
