Help docs! i'm trying to understand laser eye surgery! how does it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LASIK: By laser eye surgery i assume you mean lasik. It works by removing a preset amount and pattern of cornea tissue such that your prescription is shaped into your actual corneal. There is a lot more information on lasik online and even more specific to your actual prescription from a local ophthalmologist.
