Line 1:

'''LASIK''' surgery is a [[refractive state]] correction done on the surface of the [[cornea]]. A laser is used to cut open the surface layer of the eye, and then parts of the cornea are removed to change it's shape. LASIK does NOT reduce your risks of eye diseases associated with [[Myopia]], you still have long eyeballs and the associated issues with fluid pressure in your eye. LASIK does increase your risk of getting [[cataracts]], which requires lens replacement surgery, which has its own elevated risk factors.
