What Is LASIK?

LASIK eye surgery in Seattle (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most well-known and effective laser vision correction procedures, designed to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure involves creating a thin corneal flap, reshaping the underlying tissue with a precise excimer laser, and repositioning the flap for a smooth, rapid healing process. LASIK surgery provides long-term vision correction, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. With its quick recovery and high success rate, LASIK in Bellevue in the greater Seattle area, remains a trusted solution for achieving 20/20 vision or better.
