How LASIK works
LASIK surgery is actually pretty simple, but incredibly precise.

LASIK directly addresses the focus problem by using an incredibly precise laser
to actually reshape your eye's cornea.
The laser can remove tissue from the center of the cornea, in effect making the cornea less curved thus correcting Myopia.
Or the laser can remove tissue from the periphery of the cornea, in effect making the curved more curved, correcting Hyperopia.
And the laser can remove more tissue in one direction than another to make the curve of the cornea symmetrical and consistent, correcting Astigmatism.
With the cornea correctly shaped, the muscles in your eye can now accurately focus
the lens and you can see again. The eye is now free to work as it was originally
designed, without glasses or contacts.
