LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

The LASIK surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist who uses a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity.

For most people, LASIK provides a long-lasting alternative to eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss.

The most common type is open-angle glaucoma with less common types including closed-angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma.

Open-angle glaucoma develops slowly over time and there is no pain.

Peripheral vision may begin to decrease followed by central vision resulting in blindness if not treated.

Closed-angle glaucoma can present gradually or suddenly.

The sudden presentation may involve severe eye pain, blurred vision, mid-dilated pupil, redness of the eye, and nausea.

Vision loss from glaucoma, once it has occurred, is permanent.

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber.

The cornea, with the anterior chamber and lens, refracts light, with the cornea accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power.

In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres.

The cornea can be reshaped by surgical procedures such as LASIK.

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive layer, or "coat", of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

The optics of the eye create a focused two-dimensional image of the visual world on the retina, which translates that image into electrical neural impulses to the brain to create visual perception, the retina serving much the same function as film or a CCD in a camera.

Coimbatore (Tamil: கோயம்புத்தூர்), also known as Kovai, is a major city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

It is located on the banks of the Noyyal River and surrounded by the Western Ghats.

Coimbatore is the second largest city (by population) in the state (after Chennai) and the 16th largest urban agglomeration in India.

It is administered by the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation and is the administrative capital of Coimbatore district.

It is one of the fastest growing tier-II cities in India and a major industrial hub in South India.

It is often referred to as the "Manchester of South India" due to its cotton production and textile industries.

Coimbatore is also referred to as the "Pump City" and it supplies nearly half of India's requirements of motors and pumps.

The city is one of the largest exporters of jewellery, wet grinders, poultry and auto components; the "Coimbatore Wet Grinder" and the "Kovai Cora Cotton" are recognised as Geographical Indications by the Government of India.

Coimbatore is also an hub for education.
