LASIK is laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea, the clear front of the eye, to correct short sight, long sight and astigmatism, reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses.

The NHS says that laser eye surgery can correct short sight, long sight and astigmatism and is normally done privately, because glasses and contact lenses work well, with suitability depending on a stable prescription and healthy corneas of sufficient thickness.

The procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes with numbing drops while you stay awake, with a thin flap made in the cornea, the tissue beneath reshaped by laser and the flap laid back.

The NHS names glare, haloes and dry or sore eyes as common effects that normally improve within months.

Under- or over-correction might need glasses or a second operation, and rare complications include retinal detachment and serious loss of sight.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no wait for laser or surface eye treatment, so you can usually travel after the first follow-up check if the surgeon agrees.

• Tests: corneal scans beforehand.
• Eyes treated: normally both on the same day.
• Follow-up: checks over months.
