🔍 What Is Refractive Surgery?

Refractive eye surgery is a safe and effective procedure that reshapes your cornea or replaces your natural lens to improve how light is focused on your retina. It treats common vision conditions like:

• Nearsightedness (myopia)

• Farsightedness (hyperopia)

• Astigmatism

• Presbyopia (age-related near vision loss)

• Cataracts

• Keratoconus
