Laser refractive surgery

What is laser refractive surgery?

Laser refractive surgery is an ophthalmic procedure that uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Techniques such as LASIK and PRK may reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses in appropriately selected patients.

Who is a candidate for laser refractive surgery?

Not everyone is a candidate for laser refractive surgery. The ophthalmologist performs a comprehensive evaluation of vision, the cornea, and overall eye health to determine whether surgery is appropriate and which technique may be suitable. Factors such as prescription, corneal thickness, prescription stability, and existing eye conditions are considered.

What specialist performs laser refractive surgery?

The procedure is performed by an ophthalmologist specializing in refractive surgery, who evaluates the patient, explains the available options, and provides follow-up care before and after surgery.
