The introduction of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the field of refractive surgery which has impressive results like quick visual rehabilitation, minimal postoperative discomfort, and the ability to correct high degrees of myopia without postoperative corneal haze in comparison with previously used techniques, contributed to adopt refractive surgery among patients and doctors. With the advances made in the field of corneal refractive surgery, new laser machines and techniques, excimer laser surgery provides an accurate tool to reshape the cornea to correct refractive error in a successful manner. New wave front and topography guided Lasik systems, Epilasik and Lasek techniques help to design better ablation profiles for individual patients but also provide among objective means of measuring outcome resulting in improved algorithms for future treatments.
