LASIK

Dallas, Texas

Do you wear glasses or contact lenses? If you have, then you have probably considered LASIK eye surgery to reduce or eliminate your dependence on corrective lenses. Today’s LASIK is an affordable, painless corrective vision solution offering superior technology specifically designed to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism in healthy individuals over the age of eighteen.

Understanding Vision

The clear part at the front of the eye is called the cornea. The cornea is responsible for focusing light on the retina, the light-sensitive back portion of the eye. As light enters the cornea, the image we are viewing is sent to the retina and then to the brain. For individuals with perfect corneal shape, these functions work as they should and perfect vision is the result. Unfortunately, very few people have corneas that are perfectly shaped. Some of us have corneas that are too long, leading to farsightedness or hyperopia. Some of us have corneas that are too short, leading to nearsightedness or myopia. Some of us have football-shaped corneas that cause astigmatism. In all cases, the result is blurry or distorted vision. This distortion is called a refractive error, because the bending and focusing of light on the retina is called refraction.

How LASIK Can Help

For many years, eyeglasses and contact lenses were the only solution for correcting refractive errors. Thanks to modern technology, today’s LASIK procedure surgically alters the shape of the cornea to make it more perfect, correcting refractive errors and reducing or eliminating your need for corrective lenses.
