LASIK surgery aims to correct refractive errors and improve overall vision. It is done through the removal of the cornea’s thin layers with a laser. From this, the shape of the cornea changes. This promotes clear vision.
Some of the Refractive Errors corrected through LASIK:
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Astigmatism
To know if you’re a fit candidate for LASIK takes a comprehensive eye exam.
Considerations:
- Prescription Stability
- Overall Health
- Corneal Health
- Corneal Thickness
- Retinal Health
- Risk of Glaucoma
