The inner corneal layer is reshaped with the laser to mimic your contact lens or glasses prescription.
It is gently lifted and laser is applied to the middle corneal layer.
three factors determine whether or not a person is a good candidate for laser in situ keratomileusis, or whether another option should be taken, such as photorefractive keratectomy (similar to Lasik, in that the shape of the cornea is changed by laser, but different in that the top corneal layer is removed, rather than moved out of the way by making a flap that is repositioned after surgery).
