LASIK is the most popular type of eye surgery today. It is at the same time fast, efficient and gentle. And the complications of are rare. For most people a LASIK surgery is a good solution to improve their sight in the cases of nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism. The PRK laser surgery has been further developed to the new LASIK form. In both surgeries the outer cornea layer is removed, so the laser can operate on the tissue. But while the PRK method is scraping the out layer of, the LASIK operation cut just a flap in the cornea that can be bent. After the surgery the flap can be put back in place It only takes a few minutes to perform the the surgery. The eye will be dripped with anesthetics and most people will not feel any pain at all. When the eye is anaesthetized the cut in the cornea can be made and the laser surgery can be done. It takes between 30 seconds and two minutes to perform the actual laser operation. A specifically designed laser called an Excimer laser will be used for the operation for the operation in the sensitive tissue. After the surgery the corneal flap will be put back again. It is possible to leave the operating room right after the surgery. The eyes may sting a little bit, so it is advised to rest for the rest of the day. A nap can also help. Right after the operation the sight will have improved for most people. Over the next weeks it will be stabilized. Normally the eye will be a little dry after the surgery, so it is advised to drip them with a little salt water. All studies show that a permanent sight improvement is provided after a LASIK surgery. And previous bad eyesight will not come back. But it is not possible to prevent a possible, natural change of sight in the future with operation. So it is very important not to perform the operation before the sight is stable. A LASIK laser treatment can also not prevent the age-related long-sightedness that all (even normally sighted people) will experience. Martin Elmer is writing about eye surgery in Øjenoperation.
