What does LASIC stand for? The only thing that comes to mind is “Laser accuracy surcical immediate care”

IANA(n) ophtalmologist, but I searched it on the web and found that LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis.
No idea on whether LASIK equals your LASIC, however.
Oops. I wasn’t sure if it was LASIC or LASIK. Now I know. But what does laser in-situ keratomileusis mean?
In situ means they leave your eyeball in your head.
Well, I would certainly hope they left your eye in your head.
keratomileusis (“carving the cornea”). Apparently “kerato-” refers to the cornea and “-mileusis” refers to the carving.
Some surgeries remove the eyes to work on them.
I had to have it done as a little kid.
Not a pleasant thing to have stitches behind your eyes. Trust me.
