LASIK means complex Eye Surgery. LASIK is performed by ophthalmologists doctors using a laser. The LASIK technique was made possible by the Colombia-based Spanish ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer, who, around 1950 in his clinic in Bogotá, Colombia, developed the first microkeratome, and developed the technique used to cut thin flaps in the cornea and alter its shape, in a procedure he called keratomileusis.
LASIK Procedure include several necessary preparations in the preoperative period. The operation itself involves creating a thin flap on the eye, folding it to enable remodeling of the tissue beneath with a laser. The flap is repositioned and the eye is left to heal in the postoperative period.
Barraquer also researched the question of how much of the cornea had to be left unaltered to provide stable long-term results.
