What Is LASIK?
What is LASIK?
LASIK is a quick and painless outpatient treatment that uses a cool beam of light to gently reshape the surface of the cornea, thereby improving vision. It is designed to be a onetime treatment to help normalize your vision, while also reducing or eliminating your dependence on glasses and contact lenses. LASIK is an FDA approved procedure. Over 19 million LASIK procedures have been performed making it the most common elective vision procedure in the U.S.
What is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism is when the eye is shaped more like a football than a baseball which causes blurred vision or a sense that each eye is seeing objects slightly differently. The result produces multiple focal points. Astigmatism can make wearing contact lenses difficult or even impossible. LASIK is now a great option for people with astigmatism who want clear, comfortable vision.
What is Myopia (Nearsightedness)?
The normal eye is a perfect sphere. The cornea and lens focus light to form an image on the back inside surface of the eye, known as the retina. With nearsightedness, the cornea’s curvature is too steep for the shape of the eye. The light is focused in front of the retina, causing images of distant objects to appear blurry.
What is Hyperopia (Farsightedness)?
The normal eye is a perfect sphere. The cornea and lens focus light to form an image on the back inside surface of the eye, known as the retina. With farsightedness, the cornea’s curvature is flat for the shape of the eye. The light is focused in back of the retina, causing a blurred image.
