Lasik Laser Treatment
LASIK is a ophthalmology surgical procedure intended to
reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses. LASIK
stands for
Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure
that permanently changes the shape of the cornea,
the clear
covering
of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. A knife, called
a microkeratome, is used to cut a flap in the cornea.
A hinge
is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back revealing
the stroma, the middlesection of the cornea.
Pulses from a computer-controlled
laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced.
There are other techniques and many new terms related to LASIK
that you may hear about.
Moulton's Optical, located in Sarnia, provides ophthalmology services, vision correction consulting, cataract removal, lasik surgery and laser treatment.
