Questions about LASIK

What are the different vision problems?

The eye is like a camera. In a camera, light passes through a lens system back onto the film. The cornea and lens are at the front of the eye (anterior chamber) and are similar to a camera's lens system. The retina is located at the back of the eye (posterior chamber) and is similar to the camera's film. In the normal eye, light rays of an image pass through the cornea and the lens and are focused directly on the retina to produce a clear image.
