LASIK Surgery in Kanpur

Lasik surgery is a type of refractive surgery that corrects vision by changing the shape of the cornea. Lasik surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and most people who have the procedure are able to return to their normal activities within a day or two. Lasik surgery can be an effective way to improve vision and reduce or eliminate the need for corrective eyewear, such as glasses or contact lenses. The results of Lasik surgery can be long lasting, but some people may eventually need to have additional procedures or wear eyeglasses or contact lenses for certain activities. Lasik surgery is typically not covered by health insurance plans.
