What is LASIK? The story of LASIK How does LASIK work? Customised treatments The LASIK procedure Frequently asked questions about laser eye surgery What is LASIK? LASIK (LASer In situ Keratomileusis) is the most common procedure for corrective laser surgery, with over 32 million cases performed worldwide in the last 20 years. In Australia alone we perform approximately 40,000 cases per year. LASIK is the second-most performed surgery in the world, surpassed only by cataract surgery.* * Source HIC data. LASIK surgery involves creating a thin flap of corneal tissue using the blade-free IntraLase. The Alcon LADARVision® excimer laser then reshapes the cornea so that light focuses on the retina correctly. As one of the first surgeons to perform LASIK in Victoria, Dr Wolfe continues to be one of the most experienced in Australia. He has performed over 10,000 refractive procedures over the course of his career.
