🔍 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
