Refractive Surgery

What is refractive surgery?

Refractive surgery includes procedures designed to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses. Techniques may include LASIK, PRK, and, in selected patients, phakic intraocular lenses.

Who is a candidate for refractive surgery?

Eligibility for refractive surgery depends on factors such as prescription stability, age, corneal condition, tear film, and overall eye health. Before surgery, an ophthalmologist performs a comprehensive eye examination to determine whether the patient is a suitable candidate and which procedure may be most appropriate.

What specialist performs refractive surgery?

Refractive surgery is performed by ophthalmologists specializing in refractive surgery. The specialist evaluates the patient's vision and eye health to determine the most appropriate procedure for their individual needs.
