Most people are
familiar with the LASIK procedure but don’t always know how LASIK actually
works. LASIK starts and ends with
manipulation of your cornea.
A LASIK surgeon
uses an excimer laser to adjust and reshape your cornea (actually the stroma
layer on your cornea). The laser removes
cells based on the amount of vision adjustment needed. Your eyes are numb while this is going
on. Although you might smell an odor and
hear a clicking noise, you should feel no pain.
With custom LASIK in Charleston, your surgeon adjusts for those who are
farsighted, nearsighted and who have astigmatism.
The surgeon
replaces your flap and may apply eye drops.
Healing begins immediately and your newly reshaped cornea should be
evident in an immediate improvement in your vision.
