LASIK or Lasik (Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a type of refractive surgery for correcting Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism. LASIK is performed by Ophthalmologists using a laser. LASIK is similar to other surgical corrective procedures such as Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK – also called ASA – Advanced Surface Ablation) though it provides benefits such as faster patient recovery. Both LASIK and PRK represent advances over radial keratotomy in the surgical treatment of vision problems, and are thus viable alternatives to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses.
