| Often times you haven't even done anything to get buggered
eyes. By that I mean you haven't actually personally damaged
them to the point of needing visual aid. If you're like many you
were just born with buggered eyes, and have had to deal with the
hassles of glasses or contacts for a time that is too long to
remember. Is it worth it? - The hassle. That is the question
that you should be asking yourself. Contacts came and made it
more convenient, but what now? Eye surgery! Eye surgery has been
around for several years now, and it's amazing at how many
people are still skeptical about it.
What is Lasik Eye Surgery?
Good Question - Glad you asked. Lasik is an acronym that
stands for Laser-assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. It's a
procedure in which a laser is used to correct the shape of the
eye, an as a result to correct the vision of the patient.
The first form of Lasik surgery was in 1970, when Dr Jose
Barraquer, made it possible by developing the first
microkeratome. The microkeratome is used to cut thin flaps in
the cornea and alter its shape, in a procedure called
keratomileusis. Building off the work of DR Barraquer Dr. Lucio
Buratto in 1990 & Dr. Ioannis Pallikaris took the technique and
made it widely effective and safe.
With the long history that is behind the surgery, there is
not a need to be skeptical. I would recommend talking to your
eye doctor, to gain more advice on the surgery and to see when
and if it's right for you. Good luck, happy sight!
