How to fill out laser in situ keratomileusis

1. To fill out laser in situ keratomileusis, follow these steps:
2. Consult with an ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for LASIK surgery.
3. Prepare for the surgery by avoiding wearing contact lenses for a certain period of time as advised by your doctor.
4. On the day of the surgery, arrive at the clinic or hospital and complete any necessary paperwork.
5. An anesthetic eye drop will be applied to numb your eyes to ensure a painless procedure.
6. Your eyelids will be gently held open with a special instrument called a lid speculum.
7. A suction ring will be placed on your eye to create a stable environment for the procedure.
8. The surgeon will use a microkeratome or femtosecond laser to create a thin flap on the cornea.
9. The flap is then gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue.
10. The excimer laser will reshape the cornea by removing a precise amount of tissue to correct your vision.
11. After the cornea is reshaped, the surgeon will reposition the flap, which adheres naturally without the need for stitches.
12. The procedure is usually performed on each eye separately, with a short break between surgeries.
13. You will be given specific post-operative instructions, including using prescribed eye drops, avoiding certain activities, and attending follow-up appointments.
14. Follow the post-operative care instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal visual outcome.
