  "term": "Laser eye surgery",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A medical procedure that uses a focused laser beam to reshape the cornea of the eye, correcting refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This reshaping alters the way light enters the eye, allowing it to focus properly on the retina. Common types include LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy).",
