LASIK


LASIK laser vision correction, medically known as Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis, is one of the most popular vision care treatments available. It’s designed to address refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the eye’s cornea and improving your vision. The chief aim of LASIK is to give you significantly better vision without reliance on corrective eyewear such as glasses or contact lenses. The following links will provide you with an abundance of information on the LASIK procedure at The Eye Institute of Utah, and some details that may help you decide if it is the right procedure for your needs.

Overview of LASIK

In this general overview of LASIK, you will find information on what exactly LASIK is, how effective it’s been in restoring vision, and some of the many advantages LASIK can provide.

Introduction to Refractive Errors

Refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism afflict millions of people all over the U.S. and typically require some form of corrective eyewear to be used for clear vision. LASIK can correct these refractive errors and reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses or contacts.
