The cornea is a part of the eye that helps focus light to create an image on the retina. It works in much the same way that the lens of a camera focuses light to create an image on film. The bending and focusing of light is also known as refraction. Usually the shape of the cornea and the eye are not perfect and the image on the retina is out-of-focus blurred or distorted. These imperfections in the focusing power of the eye are called refractive errors. There are three ...

LASIK is a surgical procedure that can reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure permanently changes the shape of the cornea the delicate clear covering on the front of the eye. For clear vision, the eye's cornea and lens must bend refract light rays properly, so that images are focused on the retina. If the light rays aren't clearly focused on the retina, the images you see are blurry. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileus...

LASIK, or "laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis," is the most common refractive surgery procedure. Refractive surgeries, including LASIK, reshape the cornea to correct distorted vision often eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. Higher-order aberrations are visual problems not captured in a traditional eye exam. In a young healthy eye, the level of higher-order aberrations are typically low and insignificant. Concern has long plagued the tendency of refractive sur...
