 LASIK surgery is a very detailed surgical process involving the reshaping of the cornea with an excimer laser so that the cornea is better able to refocus rays of light on the retina, thereby improving the patient's vision in the eye or both eyes.
Many people choose this eye surgery as a treatment for their near-sightedness, far-sightedness, or astigmatism, a common eye problem that occurs when the overall vision is blurred due to an irregularly shaped cornea. Many other patients, however, choose this surgery as an alternative to wearing their glasses or contact lenses.
Are you thinking about this surgery for yourself, wondering if it's the right choice for you? It is not necessarily recommended for everyone with vision problems and disturbances, but if you are near-sighted, far-sighted, suffer from astigmatism, or want to turn in your glasses or contact lenses, then you already make a good candidate for laser eye surgery. You should also be able to directly stare at and focus on a single object for at least a minute.

 Eye lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure where the excess skin from the lower and upper eyelids is removed. This improves the patient's appearance by providing a more youthful, rested, and refreshed look.
People in their twenties will often request eye lift surgery to improve their looks. Some have a puppy dog look, with the outer eye corner situated lower than the inner corner. These patients usually want almond shaped eyes. Individuals of Asian heritage often want their eyes widened.
When people reach their late thirties, the skin on the eyelids often relaxes and becomes thinner. The eyebrow and cheek also descend, causing the eyes to look crowded and the outer eye corner drops down, too.
To see if you might benefit from an eye lift surgery, look into a mirror and raise your eyebrows and cheeks about 1 cm.
Sagging upper eyelids can be corrected with a brow lift rather than an eye lift surgery. You should discuss this option with your surgeon in order to determine which procedure is best suited to your condition.
