LASIK: Freedom from Glasses & Contacts
The natural shape and curve of your cornea and eye dictates how clearly you see. If they are shaped just right, you will have clear vision at all distances. However, if your cornea is too steep or flat – or your eye is too long or short – you will end up with blurry vision at near, far or all distances. This is because the cornea is not allowing light to properly bend (refract) and focus on the retina (the back of the eye).

LASIK corrects these common refractive errors
Myopia
(nearsightedness)
Blurry distance vision, clear up-close vision – caused by a steep cornea or longer eye so light focuses in front of the retina
Hyperopia
(farsightedness)
Blurry up-close vision, clear distance vision – caused by a flatter cornea or a shorter eye so light focuses behind the retina
Astigmatism
Blurry vision at all distances caused by an oval shaped cornea, rather than a round shape

How LASIK Works
LASIK is performed to change the shape of your cornea so light entering your eyes can land directly onto your retina (the back of your eye). To do this, our doctors remove very small amounts of corneal tissue.
