LASIK is the abbreviation of what?
LASIK is an acronym for Laser Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis which is a mouthful. The laser assisted is easy, stromal is the internal part of the cornea which is treated, in-situ means it is done right there as opposed to removing tissue and replacing it, and keratomileusis dates back to a much earlier procedure. In MKM which stands for myopic keratomileusis, the latter term refers to a reshaping of the cornea, originally coined by Jose Barraquer who was the father of refractive surgery and did this by removing the tissue before reshaping it. Thus the differentiation of the in-situ procedure.
