Conditions Treated by Laser Eye Surgery
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Myopia is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a refractive error resulting from an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, causing distorted or blurred vision.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Hyperopia is a condition where close objects are blurry, and distant objects may be clear.
Causes and Symptoms
Laser eye surgery is commonly used to correct various refractive errors that impair vision. These conditions, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, often arise due to specific triggers that affect the eye’s ability to focus light directly on the retina.Â
