There are several different uses of lasers in eye care. I would assume you are referring to LASIK to make it where you no longer need glasses or contact lenses. During LASIK there is a cutting of the cornea to create a flap of tissue which allows the laser to reshape the cornea in the center layers which changes the way the eye focuses light. The cutting procedure is done with a topical anesthetic so it is not painful. After the procedure, when the numbing effect wears off, there can be a mild scratchy feeling, but usually its not too bad. If a person has the procedure called PRK, it is done without creating the flap and it is considerably more painful.
