Laser Vision Correction involves two main types of laser eye surgery designed to correct vision or eyesight problems such as short sightedness (Myopia) or long sightedness (Hyperopia), as well as astigmatism by applying laser energy to reshape the cornea. The refractive surgeries available differ slightly in their approach and are commonly called LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) and LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy).
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser eye surgery used to correct and enhance the vision of long-sighted (hyperopic) and short-sighted (myopic) people, as well as those with astigmatism.
