LASIK Laser Eye Surgery Set To Boom


As the technology improves more and more people are considering laser eye surgery
for vision correction. But there are now several different approaches to performing
the same operation - that of remodeling the lens of the eye so that sight correction
becomes unnecessary. So what does LASIK mean and why is it becoming more popular?
LASIK is an acronym for laser-assisted in situ keratomileiusis - a long expression
for something that is fairly easy to understand.

The remodeling of the lens involves separating the cornea from the underlying
tissue, folding it back like a flap, removing some tissue from the lens beneath then
returning the cornea to its original position.
In the pioneering days of LASIK eye surgery, the flap was cut away with a
microkeratome, effectively a computer controlled knife. Today, using the latest
technology, called Intralase, it\'s done with a laser, a procedure that\'s considered
to be more accurate and give better results.

This type of eye surgery is now becoming ever more popular and prices are falling
all the time. Five years ago, prices were well over $2000 per eye, now it\'s
available for as little as $1700 per eye. Still not cheap, but definitely worth it
if you want to be rid of spectacles forever. It\'s a ten minute operation for each
eye with a three day recovery time. But beware of practitioners offering much lower
rates - such as $499 per eye - this cost usually masks other costs that will make
the total operation much more expensive in the long run.

The latest directory sites, such as www.lasik-laser.com lists thousands of
practitioners across the USA, Europe and the Far East who are able to offer this
technology. \"And the list is growing all the time\" says John Prendergast, operator
of one of the most comprehensive directories of LASIK laser practitioners on the
web. It\'s your eyes we\'re talking about here so it\'s absolutely essential to
establish the credentials of the person who is going to do the operation. Find out
how long they\'ve been practising laser surgery and how many operations they have
personally performed.
