INTRODUCTION

In the 21st century Lasik eye surgery has become a household
name. It’s like the theory of relativity proposed by Einstein. When he
first proposed it only a few could comprehend. Now, eighty years
later it is being taught in colleges and in high schools. Similarly today,
we all know about Lasik and most of us even know someone who has

warm and caring staff, can make the process quite tolerable.
