What is Lasik?

About Surgery

The patient remains fully awake throughout the procedure and lies down for the surgery. A sedative is often used to keep the patient calm and anesthetic eye drops numb the eyes.

For the first eye, a special type of retainer is placed over the eye to keep the eyelids open. The retainer includes a suction ring that aids in keeping the eyelids open.

This aids the surgeon in cutting the corneal flap and is not uncomfortable to the patient. The surgeon then uses lasers to make incisions in the cornea. The computer system tracks the patient’s eye position so that precise incisions are made.
