Lasik is the most common type of what ophthalmologists (eye surgeons) call refractive surgery - that is surgery to reduce dependence on glasses. Other types include PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), LASEK and refractive lensectomy. While the last majority of patients are pleased with the results, this INFOMED will give you an idea as to the risks and realistic expectations. For example, many patients over 40 are upset that they need reading glasses and wonder if LASIK will help. It wont't. LASIK does not change the ability of your eye to focus.
