LASIK, aka in-Situ Keratomileusis, has benefits over traditional eye surgery. The LASIK procedure goes under a protective layer of corneal tissue.
This procedure deals with less eye surface area which makes healing faster, as well as providing less chance for tissue scarring. It also allows for quicker healing times. The chance of corneal haze is greatly lessened as well. Patients will experience a quicker return of vision. Often within 24 hours of surgery.
Each procedure varies due to differences in vision and patients. Most patients will pass a drivers test without contacts or glasses after the LASIK surgery.

ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
Your eyes will be numbed using anesthesia contained in eye drops. Your eye will be held open with a small holder in order to prevent you from blinking and creating a problem during the procedure.
Your surgeon will use something called a microkeratome to make a little "flap" in the cornea. You will look directly into a light and the procedure will be performed to reshape your cornea. This is generally accomplished in less than a minute! You may feel some pressure on the eye but no pain or discomfort. The protective flap will be folded back where it bonds with your eye with any stitches or other means of securing it. Your eye heals itself!
