I'm thinking about getting LASIK surgery. What is the procedure like?

The procedure for laser eye surgery is relatively simple and painless. You will be given local anesthesia to numb your eyes, then a laser will be used to reshape the cornea of your eye. Afterward, you'll be given an eye patch to wear for several hours. Most people can go home the same day, but some may need to stay overnight. You should plan to spend one night in the hospital before returning home.
