LASIK – A Modern Technology Advancement

Science advancements in medical fields have made the treatment of any sort, easy and applicable. With the invention of scientific medical treatments and technological advancements, curing of permanent blindness and other eye-related ailments has become easier than what it used to be in the past.  It is no longer an incurable phenomenon, at least, for many of the cases. One such treatment is called LASIK or laser eye treatment and it has paved ways for the treatment of vision correction for people with myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism through surgery. According to a few studies, almost 96% of patients can have their desired vision after laser eye treatment.

LASIK is a quick, painless procedure and no bandages or stitches are obligatory after the operation.It is an effective way to correct vision problems. The visual perception of eyes is measured and then the information obtained is fed to a computerized system which then efficiently guides the doctor in performing the procedure of reshaping the patient’s cornea with laser.  LASIK sounds like a scary medical procedure as the thought of having a laser pointed at your eye isn’t an inviting one. But, on the hindsight, LASIK treatment is an easy and safe FDA-approved process.

There are many misconceptionsabout this eye surgery. Here is a list of myths debunked.Like other laser surgeries, LASIK or laser in-situ keratomileusis involves reshaping of the human eye’s cornea in order to focus light travelling through the eye properly on the retina. LASIK involves the use of metal blade for the creation of a flap in the corneal tissue of the eye.This used to happen till 2004. After that, IntraLase was introduced which provided more precision in this process and the results showed a drastic improvement in the field of Lasik laser vision correction.
