LASIK: Fixing Nearsightedness
In Burbank, Sherman Oaks, San Marino and Greater Los Angeles, California
Nearsightedness or myopia is one of the most common refractive problems. People who are nearsighted can see near objects more clearly than distant ones. It usually results from an eyeball that has developed longer in size than normal, or an unusually steep cornea. With an elongated eye or steep cornea, light passing through the eye focuses before it hits the retina, resulting in an out-of-focus image.
How is Natural Vision Created?
When the eye is open, light passes through the cornea. The cornea then directs the light through the pupil, a round opening in the iris, or colored part of the eye. Directly behind the pupil is the eye's natural lens, which fine-focuses the light directly onto the retina in the back of the eye. The light is then changed into electrical impulses and chemicals that allow the brain to create an image.
LASIK corrects the condition of nearsightedness by gently reshaping the cornea to reverse the steepness. The cornea is corrected with a painless laser, and a successful procedure allows patients to effectively view objects.
