Dr. Rex Hamilton discusses lasik eye surgery. LASIK eye surgery can improve vision for people with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During LASIK, the cornea is reshaped using laser to improve visual acuity. A flap is made first on the cornea, which can be done with the laser. It is a painless surgery, you only feel pressure on the eye during the surgery.

Vision Corrective Surgery is very common, there are different surgical options for vision correction. The most common is Lasik laser eye surgery. This type of surgery is very effective, but some patients are poor candidates for this type of Eye surgery. Having a thin cornea eliminates the ability to make a flap of the cornea for surgery. PRK is an excellent alternative for those patients as no corneal flap is necessary for PRK.
