Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis
(LASIK) is a type of refractive laser
eye surgery performed by ophthalmologists
for correcting myopia, hyperopia,
and astigmatism.[1] The procedure
is generally preferred to photorefractive
keratectomy, PRK, (also called ASA,
Advanced Surface Ablation) because it
requires less time for the patient's recovery
and the patient feels less pain, overall;
however, there are instances where PRK/ASA
is medically indicated as a better alternative
