Refractive eye surgery is any eye surgery used to
improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on
glasses or contact lenses. This can include various methods of surgical
remodeling of the cornea or cataract surgery. The most common methods today use
excimer lasers to reshape the curvature of the cornea. Successful refractive
eye surgery can reduce or cure common vision disorders such as myopia, hypermetropia
and astigmatism, as well as degenerative disorders like keratoconus.
Refractive surgery is a method for correcting or improving
your vision. There are various surgical procedures for correcting or adjusting
your eye's focusing ability by reshaping the cornea, or clear, round dome at
the front of your eye. Other procedures involve implanting a lens inside your
eye. The most widely performed type of refractive surgery is LASIK (laser-assisted in
situ keratomileusis), where a laser is used to reshape the cornea
Short for laser in-situ keratomileusis, this laser eye
surgery is used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted,
and/or have astigmatism. During LASIK surgery, vision is corrected by reshaping
underlying corneal tissue so that it can properly focus light into the eye and
onto the retina. LASIK eye
surgery differs from others in that a flap is made in the outer layer of
the cornea so that the underlying tissue can be accessed. LASIK may also be
done with the addition of computer imaging called wavefront technology to
create a detailed image of the cornea and guide for treatment.
Refractive surgery might be a good
option for you if you:
- Want to decrease your dependence on glasses or contact
lenses;
- Accept the inherent risks and potential side effects of
the procedure;
- Understand that you could still need glasses or
contacts after the procedure to achieve your best vision;
- Have an appropriate refractive error.
