All About LASIK Eye Surgery Since FDA approval in 1999, LASIK eye surgery (also called laser eye surgery) has quickly gained popularity all over the United States. By 2010, LASIK was the single most common elective operation in the world with over 35 million surgeries performed worldwide.
Correcting Astigmatism with LASIK One of the biggest myths about LASIK eye surgery is that it cannot correct astigmatism.
