Laser eye surgery (one of which is LASIK? Is performed to improve your vision and decrease your dependence on eyeglasses. LASIK surgery is performed with a laser programmed to remove a defined amount of tissue from a part of your eye called the cornea. To begin, your doctor will use a laser to cut a flap on the top layer of your cornea, (this video is about the size of a contact lens. The flap allows access to the deeper layers of your cornea.
