Description:

This animated video shows you what to expect during the LASIK surgery. Since you ee is numbed with lidocaine, you will not feel pain, only pressure. A thin flap is lifted from the cornea, either with a microkeratome or a laser, then the laser reshapes your cornea for optimal vision. The flap is then put back in place.

Wow, this is a cool video. I had LASIK about 3 years ago. Although this is very informative, I am not sure I would have done the surgery if I would have seen this before hand.
