People who are now suffering from certain vision errors, but do not want to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses may have a try on Lasik surgery. This procedure is now deemed as the best and most effective way for vision rebuilding in certain situation.
Lasik is the abbreviation of laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, one of the latest vision corrective procedures in the field.

Comparatively speaking, Lasik can ensure much greater success rate with less complications and risks- this is also why it become so hot since its first emergence.
People are usually suggested to make a full or long time preparation for this surgery, though the whole procedure can be finished within very short time. For example, it is needed to find a qualified surgeon. After that, a comprehensive eye exam is needed to see whether or not one is ideal candidate for this surgery. Of course, other aspects should also be noticed, like no lenses should be worn before the surgery.
During the whole procedure, laser is the most important factor, which is generated by special equipment, called microkeratome. The laser beam will be used to make an incision and flap on the surface of cornea. But some numbing drops and medications are needed during the whole procedure in case of any infection and complications. After the surgery, people should take care of their eyes and do as what the surgeons have suggested- never rub, scratch, etc.
Anyway, it is needed to know more and consult with eye doctors and other receivers if one really wants to get this procedure.
