Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LASIK surgery uses a laser to modify the curvature of the cornea. The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that refracts light entering the eye, and changing its curvature can correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure involves creating a corneal flap, then using a laser to remove tissue from the cornea to reshape it.
