If you have problems with your vision, you might want to try the new Lasik- an acronym that is spelled out as Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis. Lasik New York is an advanced laser eye treatment wherein a thin piece of the corneal surface is lifted so a laser beam can reach the tissue below it. An ophthalmologist uses a microkeratome to lift a flap of the outer cornea. The beam, which comes from an excimer laser, gently removes some tissue from the cornea to correct its curve. The removal of tissue from the inner cornea is also called laser ablation. After internal tissue has been removed, the flap is put back in place.

If you are myopic or nearsighted, hyperopic or farsighted, or astigmatic, Lasik New York can stop you from using contact lenses or reading glasses. The new Lasik can flatten an overly steep cornea present in nearsighted patients, and steepen an overly flat cornea in farsighted people. For individuals with astigmatism, the irregular shape of their cornea can be corrected with the new Lasik. Other eye surgery procedures have been practiced in medicine before Lasik laser, but the new Lasik offers quicker results painlessly.

Not all people have good eyesight. For years, people with eye defects have relied on corrective glasses, reading glasses and even magnifying glasses to make them see better. In many cases, people have to wear glasses from childhood and way into their elder years.

Glasses, however, only make you see better when you are wearing them. When you take them off to rest your eyes, or when you place them on the table before you sleep, you will not be able to see as clearly as when you have them on. While there are people whose eyesight improves after using glasses, it takes a long time before their eyesight is corrected. Another popular alternative is using contact lenses. But contact lenses cannot be worn overnight or when engaging in certain activities like swimming. For those of you who are tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses, the new Lasik may be your best option.

If you are interested in Lasik New York, inquire at a Lasik institute in your place. Remember to look for a good doctor and ask about the procedure. You may know some people who have undergone Lasik laser eye surgery and you could ask for referrals. Although the new Lasik is advanced refractive eye surgery using state-of-the-art devices, adverse effects could still occur. Some noted complications of Lasik laser include over or under correction, double or blurred vision, too much sensitivity to light and folds or wrinkles in the cornea. But these effects are highly uncommon.

The new Lasik is very effective but it may also be expensive. But remember that health is your real wealth. Clear vision is an asset!
