LASIK has become most common form of laser vision correction in the world.<\/p>\n

Excimer laser eye surgery works by reshaping the cornea, which is the transparent front of the eye. This encourages light rays entering the eye to focus successfully on, or close to the retina.<\/p>\n

Z-LASIK involves the application of laser treatment to the deeper layers of the cornea under a protective flap, combining two different laser procedures. The result is a quicker return of vision and refractive stability following LASIK compared with LASEK or PRK.<\/p>\n

More than 15 million LASIK procedures have been performed worldwide, since it was first introduced in the late 1980s and has now become the most commonly performed procedure in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2961,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLASIK | Rakesh Jayaswal | Portsmouth Eye Clinic<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"LASIK has become most common form of laser vision correction in the world.
