		<description><![CDATA[Eye problems are something that a lot of people have to deal with. Now some of these issues can be cured through Lasik eye surgery. People that suffer from many common eye ailments can be free from them by going through this surgery.
Being free from having to wear eye glasses is something that can be a huge relief for most people. Many have already experienced this type of freedom after having to wear glasses for many years. 
The procedure that the surgeon performs involves folding back a thin flap in the cornea of the eye. Once this is folded back he/she will then do what is necessary with the cornea to correct the vision problem of the patient. This is different depending on the condition that they have.

		<description><![CDATA[Supporting surgical vision correction is not as easy as ophthalmologists tell us. In the first place, we believe our eyes as extremely sensitive. And this is the truth. There are so many accidents that can cause, that everybody ought to carefully consider what hospital they choose to correct their sight faults.
PRK is nothing more than photo-refractive keratectomy. The surgery is basically the ablation of a small fraction from the ocular cornea, resulting in reshaping it. In this way sight faults are corrected, making it possible to give up the prescription glasses for so many people.
Lasik does pretty much the same as PRK does, but the layer removed from the cornea is not superficial, but a deeper portion. Then the upper portion of cornea is put back in place, enabling the eye to cure itself.
