About Sydney Laser & Vision Centre LASIK
LASIK is a technique used to help you see better without glasses.
LASIK stands for Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis. The word "Keratomileusis" is derived from two Greek words that literally mean "to shape the cornea". "In-situ" means "within". The term LASIK literally means "to shape the cornea from within using laser".
LASIK is performed under local anaesthetic eye drops with the assistance of mild tablet sedation.
There are no needles or stitches. While you may feel pressure, the procedure is generally painless.
The procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes.
