- Laser Eye SurgeryLaser in-situ keratomileusis ) is a laser procedure to correct poor vision in order to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. Common vision conditions corrected with LASIK surgery are myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia. During the LASIK procedure, the eye surgeon creates a flap in the cornea and then uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct the refractive error in the eye. The procedure takes about 20 minutes to do both eyes, and many patients have 20/20 vision by the next day.
