Now you can impress your friends and acquaintances at parties:  LASIK is an acronym for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis.  What does that mean?  I make a flap in the front clear part of your eye with a laser or a microkeratome.  I lift the flap, and a  laser shapes the front of the cornea to the correct prescription.  Finally, I smooth the flap back into place, and then you’re on your way to the freedom of clear vision without glasses or contacts.

That’s what LASIK means.
