Answer:

Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis

Explanation:

Laser in-situ Keratomileusis (also known by the acronym LASIK) is a surgical procedure based on the use of a cutting instrument called a microkeratome. The surgeon makes a cut in more anterior regions of the cornea and then uses a laser at these locations to reshape the cornea. After this, the surgeon places the cut cornea again at the cut site, allowing this tissue to reintegrate into the cornea within a few days.
