See Better With Laser Eye Surgery
Time and time again, you’ve heard your friends and co-workers, maybe even family members, swear by the astonishing, life-changing results of laser eye surgery.
But do you know exactly how laser eye surgery improves your vision? And what do you need to know before undergoing laser eye surgery?
Known as corrective refractive surgery, laser eye surgery can make long-term vision improvements for astigmatism, farsightedness and nearsightedness. This is accomplished by modifying the cornea’s curvature or shape using the precise power of lasers. Today, several refractive procedures employed. They include LASIK, PRK, SMILE, KAMRA, corneal Inlays, corneal cross-linking, intra-ocular (IOL) lenses AND EPI-LASIK.
