LASIK and Refractive Surgery Evaluation
LASIK, a form of refractive surgery, is an option for vision correction without needing to wear glasses or contact lenses. Simply put, LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser.
Recently, other surgical alternatives have become available. Among these is a technique called phakic IOL implantation which involves implanting a lens in front of the natural lens. With this new option, many of those who were too highly nearsighted for LASIK are now candidates for refractive surgery.
