Since its debut in the 1980s, there have been conflicting stories about what LASIK entails and whether or not it's truly successful.

If you have nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism they you are probably a canidate for this new technology. In some cases it will eliminate glasses and contacts and for other it could possible mean only having to use glasses occasionally.

What this surgery does is reshape your cornea, inside the eye itself using a laser.

Custom LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that uses the unique visual characteristics of your eye to customize your treatment.

After a thorough eye examination, you'll be expected to choose a doctor to perform the LASIK eye surgery. Once this has been done, you'll be scheduled for a consultation with the doctor to discuss the process, and you'll have the opportunity to voice whatever questions or concerns that you may have prior to the procedure.
