"LASIK" in this case refers to a procedure of laser eye surgery, which is a popular surgery that corrects different vision problems. "LASIK" officially stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis but it is commonly referred to as "LASIK". Ex: A: Where are your glasses? Did you get contacts? B: No, I got LASIK.
