What is the LASIK process?
LASIK, which stands for laser in situ keratosis, is a common surgery that can correct vision in people who are nearsighted or farsighted, or who have astigmatism .
It is one of many vision correction surgeries that work by reshaping the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, so that light is focused on the retina at the back of the eye.
Why is LASIK done?
When light isn’t focused on your retina the way it should be, your vision is blurry. Doctors call this refractive error. The basic types include:

Those who suffer from farsightedness, which is a strange thing that some suffer from, as they will find that the objects far from them are very clear and to a degree that seems normal, but when those objects approach them, the vision becomes blurry, in general, the LASIK process ends that.
People with astigmatism, a condition that results in light not gathering naturally and logically in the lens of the eye, so that eventually the result becomes blurry vision that is not clear at all.
