Questions about LASIK

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

In a myopic eye, the light rays are passed through the cornea and lens but the point at which they converge (focus) is in front of the retina, not on the retina. This configuration allows clear images of near objects but not those that are far away. Non- surgical treatment options for myopia include glasses and contact lenses. Surgical treatment options LASIK, PRK and LASEK. While there are numerous surgical options available, not all individuals are good candidates for specific procedures. Patients should review these options in depth with the surgeons at the Laser Center for Vision prior to making any final decisions.
