| LASIK |
(laser in-Situ Keratomileusis) is a form of laser treatment for individuals with higher degrees of myopia (greater than 5 diopters). LASIK is similar to PRK with the exception that a specialized cutting instrument known as a microkeratome is used first to produce a thin flap on the outside of the cornea. This superficial flap is then gently folded back so that the laser may reach and remove deeper layers of corneal tissue. ...

| LASIK |
Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, or LASIK, combines PRK with elements of ALK. LASIK is considered effective for all levels of myopia, including high myopia up to -20 diopters. The ophthalmologist uses the automated microkeratome to shave off a thin, hinged layer of the cornea. The surgeon then uses the excimer laser to vaporize a thin layer of the underlying cornea, and the top flap is restored to its place. ...

| LASIK |
A surgical procedure in which a laser or microkeratome is used to create a surface layer of corneal tissue (flap) that can be reflected out of the way so that a laser re-surfacing treatment may be applied underneath. The flap is returned to its original position and heals very quickly.

| LASIK |
An acronym for Laser in Situ Keratomileusis. A surgical operation where a flap of surface cornea is cut and rolled aside in order that a laser beam can remove internal tissue from the inside (stroma or body) of the cornea. Following removal of tissue the surface layer is reattached. The amount and shape of the removed tissue is determined by the preoperative refractive error ie myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
