LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the most commonly performed form of laser eye surgery and can be used to treat long sightedness, short sightedness, and astigmatism. It involves creating a thin flap on the surface of the cornea, using a laser to reshape the underlying tissue, and then repositioning the flap. LASIK is known for its accuracy, comfort, and rapid recovery — many patients achieve noticeably clearer vision within 24 hours of treatment. Centre for Sight was the first clinic in the UK to perform LASIK and has decades of experience delivering outstanding outcomes for long sighted patients.
