How does laser vision correction work?
Laser vision correction is a popular and effective way to improve your vision. But how does it work?Â
Laser vision correction uses a laser to reshape the cornea, the clear, round dome at the front of the eye. This helps improve how light enters the eye and focuses on the retina. By reshaping the cornea, the laser can correct refractive errors, such as:Â
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia, a condition that causes difficulty reading up close
The procedure is usually quick and painless, and most people see a significant improvement in their vision afterward. If you’re considering laser vision correction, talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you.
