What is Lasik Laser Vision Correction?
 LASIK, or Laser in-Situ Keratomileusis offers a number of benefits over other forms of laser vision correction because it is performed under a protective layer of corneal tissue. As a result, there is less surface area to heal and less chance for complications after surgery. | The Lasik Procedure Itself
Lasik is performed at Williamson Eye Institute using a state-of-the-art microkeratome and the VISX STAR S4 laser with CustomVue laser correction. Dr. Williamson and Dr. Kidd are the proud owners of a battery-backed laser that cannot fail in a power outage.
