 Laser eye surgery is a medical procedure which uses a laser for reshaping the surface of the cornea. This is done to improve myopia (shortsightedness), hypermetropia (long sightedness) or astigmatism. The first information on laser eye surgery dates back over twenty years, with vast improvemnets since.
The laser eye surgery procedure uses an excimer controlled by a computer. It is used to remove tiny amounts of corneal tissue. The purpose is to restore normal vision, relieving the patient from wearing glasses or contacts.
In a procedure called photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), the outer layer of the cornea, also called epithelium, is removed and the excimer laser is used to reshape the tissue underneath.
In a newer procedure, a microkeratome is used to cut a flap in the corneal tissue. This is then lifted and the excimer laser is used to reshape underlying tissue. When finished, the flap is put back into place. This type of laser eye surgery is called laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). This is more commonly used than PRK.
