Lasik Explorers Out There


Lasik - the common conversation topic by many as age catches up and especially for those who eye sights are getting from bad to worse. I have heard from my circle of family, friends and colleagues who have either gone for the lasik surgery and have talked about it that it is so far a safe operation with 100 percent success rate and very minimal side effects. Yet to find out more on this.

LASIK is acronym for "Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis". It is a refractive laser surgery on the eye, being performed to correct myopia. Once this surgery is done, a person would say good bye to his or her glasses or contact lens and say hello to better vision.

On visits to some general practitioners, advertisements abound at their clinics to promote this eye surgery. But it is an expensive surgical operation and even if you could afford, each have to go through an evaluation if you are suitable for the lasik surgery. Indeed there is more than meets the eye.

Dear LasikExplorer,
Excellent short introduction to LASIK. Thanks for sharing this blog. Surely a lot of my colleagues too have taken this surgery and I have not heard of any side effects so far.
