Etymology
The word LASIK comes from Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and breaks down simply: laser is a 'strong light beam', in situ means 'in place', and keratomileusis refers to the cornea, the 'front of the eye'. So LASIK is a surgery that uses a laser to reshape the cornea in place to correct vision.
