Treating Myopia (Short sightedness) With Laser Eye Surgery
If you are short-sighted, your eyeball is slightly longer and rounder than it should be. This means the light converges just in front of the retina, creating a blurred image at distance.
Myopia Is The Ideal Condition For Laser Eye Treatment
Myopia is usually corrected with glasses or contact lenses. But it is also an ideal condition for laser eye treatment. By slightly reshaping the front of the cornea, the light is refocused precisely on the retina, eliminating short-sightedness.
