What actually happens to your eye during LASIK? ๐๏ธ
It may look a little intimidating, but the process is more precise and much quicker than many people realize.
First, numbing drops are used to keep your eye comfortable. Then, a laser creates a thin corneal flap, allowing the surgeon to precisely reshape the underlying corneal tissue based on your prescription. Once the correction is complete, the flap is repositioned and begins healing naturally; no stitches required.
The laser portion itself takes only a short amount of time, but those few moments can reduce your dependence on glasses and contacts for years to come.
