Laser-assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is a form of refractive laser eye surgery.
In laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery, a doctor peels back the outer layer of the cornea, the clear shield that covers the eye, and then uses laser pulses to vaporize portions of the inner cornea, or stroma, to reshape it before replacing the corneal flap.
In ever-expanding numbers, adults with poor vision are having their corneas reshaped through refractive surgical procedures such as radial keratotomy, or RK, photorefractive keratectomy, or PK, and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK.
