Laser operation
Dear teachers,
What's the word for having laser operation on eyes? Is there a special verb for this? Can canyone provide me with a sentence as well?
Thanks.

Re: Laser operation
It's just that:
'I've decided to have laser eye surgery.'
There are apparently slight procedural variations under commercially coined names like LASIK and LASEK but few people will have heard of these.

No, there's no special verb for having operations, that I can think of. It's not something you do (the surgeon does it); it's something you undergo.
You can say, "I'm undergoing a keratotomy next week."

LASIK is a common term in the US.
