Using a programmed laser, the eye surgeon reshapes parts of your cornea. With each pulse of the laser beam, a tiny amount of corneal tissue is removed. After reshaping the cornea, the surgeon lays the flap back into place. The flap usually heals without stitches.

Laser eye surgery is a procedure done by professional surgeons. It utilizes a special powerful laser to fix damaged vision. The Retinas and Corneas, make up the eye and are very important to its function. The focused laser gets rid of the damaged Cornea in order to reshape them. It's meant to correct people's eyesight by removing the Cornea that is causing the bad eyesight.
