Refractive surgery is a term for several procedures designed to treat visual abnormalities such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Since the late 1970’s, advances in technology and surgical technique have made refractive surgery more predictable with the vast majority of patients having their vision corrected to 20/40 or better. Clear vision is the result of light rays passing through the cornea, pupil, lens, and then focusing directly upon the specialized cells of the retina. If the cornea is not round from being either too steep or too flat in relation to the length of the eye, light rays focus either in front of or behind the retina resulting in “refractive errors”.
