LASIK has quickly become the most popular elective surgery in America, and for good reason. The LASIK procedure is relatively quick and painless, and it can be used to correct a variety of vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
LASIK, an acronym for Laser In Situ (Latin for in place or "not removed") Keratomileusis (cutting of the cornea to reshape it), is a surgical technique in which an extremely precise excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea and sharpen vision.
At LaserVision Correction – serving Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska – LASIK surgery can be performed in just a few minutes, with anesthetic eye drops. Over 95 percent of LASIK patients are able to drive to work or school unaccompanied by the very next day.
