What is Lasik Eye Surgery?
Lasik is the combination of microsurgical exposure and excimer laser technology. During laser eye surgery Dr. Boothe uses a special device called a microkeratome that creates a flap of corneal tissue. Then, the flap is pulled back and the laser works on reshaping the cornea. The excimer laser creates a new form of the cornea. As a result, patients may achieve 20/20 vision or better.
During the Lasik eye procedure the excimer laser does not affect on the upper layers of the cornea. This allows you to avoid keratoleukoma and a painful period of recovery. Your eyesight will be restored in the shortest possible time.
