Lasik surgery is a new method of restoring certain kinds of vision loss.
Lasik is an acronym derived from the word “laser” and some medical
terms.
Unlike cataract surgery, which restores vision to eyes marred by a cloudy

lens, Lasik is an elective procedure performed on healthy eyes. Gener-
ally, patients who choose Lasik surgery suffer from myopia, or nearsight-
edness, which means that their eyes cannot visualize distant objects. It
also corrects farsightedness, the inability to see close objects, as well as
astigmatism, which is a visual distortion that causes blurred vision. But
the procedure does not correct presbyopia, the inability of the eye to
focus that comes naturally with age.

Lasik surgery is painless. Recovery is fast, and vision stabilizes quickly.
Also, it is easy to go back to fine-tune results. Using a special knife, the
surgeon slices a microscopically-thin hinged flap in the top of the
cornea, exposes what is under the flap, and then zaps the exposed tissue
with a laser for a preprogrammed number of seconds. The laser sculpts
the cornea according to the correction needed. The flap is then carefully
replaced. The eye’s natural suction enables the flap to adhere without
stitches.
Generally, Lasik is not appropriate for patients with high levels of
nearsightedness or astigmatism. It is also possible that patients with large
pupils will experience glare and halos after surgery. Likewise, some

patients have been left with serious and uncorrectable problems after the
procedure, including glare, haze, double vision, ghosting, or irregular
astigmatism, a permanent warping of the cornea.

Preparing for the Listening Section
As I say many times in this book, the best way to improve your English is to listen
to as much English as possible. Use the following tips to listen to English daily:
■
Watch movies and television, including news programs and weather
reports. If a television isn’t available, listen to the radio.
■
Make telephone calls to recorded messages. For example, some news-
papers have recorded information about local events and most movie
theaters have recorded schedules of showings.
■
Attend lectures in English if you can.
■
Make use of a language laboratory if one is available. Check with a local
university that has an intensive English program or with a Sylvan
Learning Center in your area.
