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.
