What goes on in Laser eye surgery?

Can anyone tell me step by step how laser eye surgery works?

My eye sight is getting worse every year and its to the point where im thinking that at some point in my life i might end up needing laser eye surgery just so i dont go blind when im 40! My problem is i hate it when things get near my eyes… you see i cant where contacts and its a pain to get drops in my laser eye surgerying to think im going to have to get laser eye surgery… So what happens inlasikr eye surgery?

I know the process of LASIK fairly well as I saw it done twice and had it done personally. A flap of your cornea (the lens of your eye) is cut and peeled back then a laser is used to burn microscopic bits of the underlying material into a shape that allows light to focus properly, then the flap is laid back down. You are awake for the entire procedure as they only provide drops to numb the eyes. It is completely painless even afterward with only a severe sensitivity to light as the main discomfort.
