When it comes to the conversation about vision correction, LASIK has been a household name since it was approved by the FDA nearly 20 years ago. An acronym for laser in situ keratomileusis, LASIK is a two-step procedure.
The first step makes a micron-thin, circular flap in the cornea – the surface of the eye. Then, the surgeon gently lifts the flap to expose where the actual vision correction treatment will happen, just under the surface of the eye. Dr. Neda Shamie is a renowned cataract, LASIK and corneal surgeon, visits with Mark Alyn.
