Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)Excimer laser

Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomilieusis (LASIK) is the most common laser refractive surgery procedure performed today. LASIK uses the accuracy and precision of the Excimer laser to alter the shape of the cornea in an attempt to change the way the light is focused or refracted by the eye, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

In LASIK, after a thin corneal flap has been created and lifted, the middle portion of the cornea (stroma) is reshaped.

The approximate minimal age range for Laser Vision Correction is 18-21. That’s because we require a "stable" prescription. Thus the ideal LASIK candidate has a stable refraction since one year, healthy corneas and a strong motivation to eliminate or reduce his dependence from glasses or contact lenses.
