Lasik Laser Eye Surgery Procedure

The lasik laser eye surgery procedure is a bit complicated. The lasik surgeon will use a large apparatus that is connected to a computer, a microscope, and of course, a laser. You will be asked to lie down. At this point, you should really try to relax. You can do this by doing various breathing exercises. The idea is to not get too nervous during the lasik laser eye surgery procedure. Don’t worry, you will not feel much because your eyes will be given a numbing agent. This is usually in the form of eye drops, with the numbing agent inside the eye drops. Another purpose for the eye drop is to clean your eye of any dirt to avoid infection while the lasik laser eye surgery procedure is taking place. Your eyes will be cleaned. During this whole lasik laser eye surgery procedure you will be conscious, but will not feel much because of the numbing agent.
When the cleaning is done, your eyes will be prepared for the lasik laser eye surgery procedure. A specialized speculum will be sued to keep your eye open. This is done to prevent you from blinking during the laisk laser eye surgery procedure. Your cornea is a transparent part in the front part of your eye. This is what gives you most of your optical power. Over your cornea, a ring will be placed to prepare for the lasik laser eye surgery procedure. This is done by applying using high pressure to lift the cornea off your eye, which may feel a bit painful.
After placing the cornea properly, the lasik surgeon continues with the lasik laser eye surgery procedure. The surgeon cuts the cornea so that the laser can have access to the eye. Without the cornea being cut, the laser would not be able to do its job because it could refract or bend and end up pointing at some other part of the eye and so this is an important part of the lasik laser eye surgery procedure. Next the laser does what it was programmed to do by the computere. The laser reshapes the eye . the exact measurements for this is programmed by the computer before the lasik laser eye surgery procedure. From previous tests that were done during consultations, the measurements were determined and programmed into the computer so they could be applied accordingly during the lasik laser eye surgery procedure.
The computer commands the laser to cut according to the measurements that were put in before when presurgery tests were taken. The laser then does its job, which is the main point of the lasik eye surgery procedure. The laser continues until the amount of tissue it was supposed to remove is done. The computer then stops the laser at the precise time that the tissue that was supposed to be removed is done so and the lasik laser eye surgery procedure is finished.
After the lasik laser eye surgery is completed, the surgeon will put a patch on the eye that was corrected by lasik to make sure it heals properly. This is the last step of the lasik laser eye surgery procedure and leads to the healing process.
