>>LEARN MOREVision Problems Corrected by LASIK
There are three main parts to the human eye: the cornea, the lens, and the retina. The cornea refracts (bends) light so it can be directed through the lens, onto the retina, giving a clear image. When we experience vision problems these are usually the result of disorders or irregularities of the shape of the cornea. LASIK laser eye surgery solves these vision problems by using lasers to reshape the curve of the cornea so that normal, clear, sight is obtained.
Nearsightedness:
Nearsighted people see close objects clearly, but not distant objects. In Nearsightedness, the curve of the cornea is too steep, or the eye itself is somewhat elongated, resulting in images being focused in front of the retina. LASIK corrects this condition by flattening the curve of the cornea.
Farsightedness:
Farsighted people see distant objects clearly. However, all other objects are blurred. In Farsightedness, the shape of the cornea is too flat, or the eye is not spherical, causing light rays to focus behind the retina. LASIK corrects this condition by shaping the outer area of the cornea so that it focuses correctly.
Astigmatism:
Astigmatism is the inability to focus clearly at any distance due to an irregular or misshapen cornea. With astigmatism, the cornea is shaped more like a football than a basketball, and the light rays focus at differing points on the retina, causing blurred vision. LASIK corrects this oval shape, making the cornea more round and achieving clear vision.
