In addition to the older and the middle-aged generation even the younger generation is facing a lots of vision related problems. This is due to lack of proper vitamins and minerals in the diet. One may consider going for a laser vision surgery to end the nuisance of glasses and contact lenses that nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism cause. Earlier photorefractive keratectomy was used a laser surgery to cure vision related problem. However, with development in technology LASIK came in to the panorama. Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis also known, as LASIK has been one of the most exciting and breakthrough discoveries in laser surgeries for vision correction. The procedure is quite simple and fast for LASIK. First in a sterilized environment a flap is made on the cornea with the help of a microkeratome. The microkeratome is fully automated. Once the corneal flap is made, with help of excimer laser the aberration is ablated. LASIK is a permanent solution and someone who has undergone a LASIK surgery would never need to use spectacles or contact lenses. The procedure is also lot less painful than its predecessors. The eye heals in no time giving the patient normal sight back only in a short period of time. In short LASIK is a revolution in laser vision surgery.
