What can refractive laser correct?
Refractive laser addresses the most common refractive errors: it can correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. The main and most important reason to choose such an operation is complete independence from glasses and contact lenses, which changes everyday life fundamentally.
Is every eye suitable?
It is important to stress, however, that not every eye is suitable for refractive laser. There are specific scientific limits to how much the cornea may be reshaped, which is why a thorough pre-operative examination matters so much. It will show precisely whether it is completely safe to proceed and which technique is best for each eye separately.
And presbyopia?
Presbyopia is not corrected in exactly the same way as the other conditions, but modern technology offers specialised solutions that can be suggested depending on the case.
In short: if you want to be free of glasses and all the conditions for a safe operation are met, this procedure is one of the best investments you can make in yourself.
