LASIK vision correction surgery is a painless refractive surgery procedure that aims at permanently altering the focusing power of the eye by reshaping the corneal surface with the excimer laser light. LASIK surgery is performed with the patient awake and mobile; however, the patient is sometimes given a mild sedative (such as Valium). Usually both eyes are operated on at the same time, but if
