In this technique, the outer surface of the cornea is slightly shifted back using a microsurgical mechanical scalpel (microkeratome), then vision impairment is corrected using an excimer laser by improving the shape of the cornea according to the defects of the degree of vision, then re-positioning the outer surface of the cornea to begin healing and correcting the refractive error, and this is one of the most common surgeries as its results are good and the patient has good vision quickly only hours after surgery.

Myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism and visual aberration can be treated with surgical LASIK technique.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is advantage of MK-LASIK” style=”rounded”]

The operation is done under local anesthesia and takes a few minutes after which you can enjoy improved vision quickly

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How is the surgical Scalpel used in MK-LASIK?” style=”rounded”]

We use a precise and effective surgical scalpel that is placed in a mechanical device (microkeratome) and is fixed on the surface of the eye to accurately separate the corneal flap and then the scalpel is removed. The surgical scalpel is sterile and used only once and then discarded
