LASIK eye surgery Canada is a simple and non-invasive procedure performed to correct visual impairment in people suffering from myopia, hyperopia, and/or astigmatism.

Short for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, LASIK eye surgery Canada takes only about thirty minutes to perform. The results of the surgery are immediate although some experience slight discomfort during the first few days after the treatment.

The basic procedure for LASIK surgery involves two sections. First, the surgeon makes a flap in the outer cover of the eye using a laser beam and folds this out of the way to access the cornea of your eye. Second, a cool ultraviolet light beam is emitted by an excimer laser to remove or ablate the corneal tissue of your eye reshaping it to the desired shape giving you better vision.

The common side effects of LASIK surgery include glares and haloes as well as problems with night time vision. However, new advancements in LASIK eye surgery Canada are now available to address these problems.

One way of minimizing the drawbacks of LASIK surgery is by scanning the unique profile of your eye and storing the data in a computer. The computer then generates a unique laser energy pattern for your eye condition by taking into account any aberration in your eye profile.

The unique laser pattern for your eye makes sure that the laser energy emitted during the surgery is equal on all parts of your cornea. Studies show that unequal laser energy especially on the edges of the cornea during the treatment is one of the major causes of glare problems later on. Hence, this procedure offers a more personalized treatment and there is less chance for side effects to occur.

Despite the possible downside of LASIK eye Surgery Canada, it remains to be one of the most popular and effective vision correction treatments offered today. The success of this technology propelled and continues to propel researches to develop new advancements that will eliminate any possible side effect whatsoever.
