What is LASIK
read moreLASIK - along with PRK - is the most advanced form of refractive surgery. In its most sophisticated form, LASIK offers unparalleled levels of accuracy, safety and easy of recovery. LASIK works by using a laser beam to painlessly and precisely sculpt the cornea with a shape more accurate than that of glasses or contact lenses. Today LASIK, in its latest customized wavefront format, is a very mature technology in terms of both accuracy and safety, resting on the fact that more than 17 million cases of LASIK have been performed in the United States alone.
Reading Vision
read moreIt is normal to experience a loss of close vision after age 40. This process, called "presbyopia" (Greek for "aging of the eye") affects everyone who sees well in the distance. Presbyopia is therefore an age-related need for reading glasses ("cheaters") or bifocals in glasses. It occurs as the natural lens of the eye becomes progressively stiffer with age. If both eyes are perfectly focused at distance, either by birth, by contacts or glasses, or by LASIK, it is normal to start needing reading glasses ("cheaters") after your early 40s.
