What is Laser in-situ keratomileusis?
Laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a non-reversible refractive procedure performed by ophthalmologists to correct myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
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.

How does 'LAZIK' relate to the eye?
LASIK (Laser Assisted Stromal In-Situ Keratomileusis) is also known as vision correction laser surgery. The procedure is done for those would like to eliminate or decrease the use of eye glasses or contact lenses.
What kinds of corrective eye surgery are available for myopic patients?
three types of corrective surgeries available as of 2001: 1) radial keratotomy (RK), 2) photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and 3) laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
What are some surgical treatments for hyperopia?
One approach is to implant corrective contact lenses behind the patient's iris. Another approach, called laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), is to surgically increase the curvature of the eye's existing cornea or lens using a laser.
