LASIK Surgery done by Dr. Ebtisam Al Alawi LASIK stands for Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis which means to shape the cornea within its layers with the use of the Excimer laser,

LASIK is performed as an outpatient procedure using topical anaesthesia with drops. The procedure itself generally takes about fifteen minutes or less. The surgeon creates a flap in the cornea with a microkeratome. The flap is lifted to the side and the cool beam of light from the Excimer laser to ablate i.e. remove the pre-determined amount of tissue to reshape the cornea with great accuracy and corrects the individual's refractive error.

The flap is folded back to its normal position and the inside of the cornea and not the surface. and sealed without sutures
