LASIK
LASIK, or Laser in-Situ Keratomileusis, has become the procedure of choice for millions of people each year. LASIK involves the use of the Excimer laser to emit a "cool beam" of ultraviolet light that reshapes the cornea by removing microscopic amounts of tissue. Removal of these small amounts of tissue creates a new corneal curve that corrects for myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
Dr. Ford refers his patients who are candidates for LASIK surgery to the expert doctors at the Eye Specialty Group in Memphis, TN.
