There is a diverse range of surgical procedures aimed at repairing vision and improving eyesight, encompassing refractive correction and strategies addressing various vision issues. In fact, some of these procedures are among the most commonly performed surgeries in modern medicine.
Having clear vision relies on the proper focusing of light rays onto the retina by your cornea and lens. These light rays must bend correctly to reach the retina. Vision issues, known as refractive errors, arise when the cornea isn't perfectly shaped.
Surgery is a common treatment for vision problems, aiming to correct refractive errors. The goal of refractive eye surgery is to reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
