Answer 1

I just had Lasik 9 days ago.  What they do is they take 3D pictures of your eyes so they can know exactly how to make the shape of your eye normal so you will have good vision.  Then they set the laser how to change the shape of your eye.  When you have the operation, they put drops in your eyes so you don't feel anything.  They get you on the operating table and put some metal in the eye to keep it open.  It's not comfortable but it doesn't hurt.  Then they have a machine that touches the eye and suctions it so it doesn't move.  Again, doesn't hurt.  They cut a flap from the cornea, fold it up and then change the shape of your eye with the laser.  You can smell the eye burning, smells a bit like burning hair.  Then they put the flap of the cornea back down and do the other eye and then they give you sunglasses to wear to protect your eyes.

When you get home and the drops start to wear off so you start to feel your eyes again, they will really hurt for a few hours.  After that they are fine.  You are supposed to wear the dark sunglasses for 24 hrs. inside the house and out and there are a lot of eyedrops to use all the time.  After 24 hrs. the sunglasses should still be worn outside for a week, even when it's dark out because they will protect the eyes from wind and dust.  It's ok to go back to work or school after a couple of days, maybe a week if you work in a dusty place but the vision can be blurry for a couple of weeks after the surgery because the eyes are still healing.

Answer 2

From what I learned from my mom wanting me to get it done so i don't wear glasses anymore, The doctor holds your eyes open with little hooks (my mom says they don't hurt, but i have my doubts) and they point a laser in your eye where the blast the laser and it makes bubbles under the layer of lens that needs to be removed, and then they remove the lens and you can see 20/20 after that. my mom had goggles on where there couldn't be much air getting in and she couldn't drive at night because she couldn't see, but she still wanted me to do it. it's supposed to be painless, but i have my doubts. that's what i know about it. other than that, ask a Lasic Eye Surgeon about it.

Answer 3

cornea.. the 1st optical system on the eye.. a small curved  clear surface , the more curved .. the less vision  - in some ppl-  . Lasik is taking a slice from the cornea..to make it less curved..so correctin vision.

     easy operation.. don't hurt.. very effective... and very lil adverse usual advers effects
