While some may expect laser surgery to be painful, it is in fact both painless and safe. Lasik surgery is also a very short outpatient procedure, the procedure itself lasting only a few short minutes. Laser eye surgery treatment is a rather simple process and begins when a local anesthetic is administered to numb the eye. Once anesthetized, the surgeon will create what is referred to as the corneal flap. He or she will then reshape the cornea, a change that will allow your eye to see more clearly as light will now be reflected by the cornea at the proper angle.

Image
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a surgical procedure that can improve your vision. It permanently reshapes the tissue in the front of your eye, and these changes last your whole life. However, most people’s vision gets worse over time as part of the natural aging process. LASIK can’t stop this, so your vision may become blurry again as you get older. How long these changes occur after your LASIK procedure will depend on how old you are when you have LASIK and if you have any other progressive eye conditions. Vision changes after LASIK While LASIK permanently changes your vision, there are reasons your vision may change following LASIK. According to the American Refractive Surgery Council, your vision may change over time if the initial condition that affected your vision — your myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism (blurry vision) — continues to progress.
