Types of Laser Eye Surgery
-
LASIK
LASIK is the most commonly performed laser vision correction procedure performed worldwide.
-
Smartsight
Smartsight by the Schwind Atos Laser is the latest laser technology to correct refractive error.
-
TransPRK
TransPRK is a no-touch laser vision correction that is non-invasive, safe, and gentle to the eye.
What is refractive error?
The main refractive errors include:
Short-sightedness (myopia)
If the cornea and lens are too strong, or if the eye is too long, light comes into focus in front of the retina. This causes objects in the distance to be blurred but those closer are in focus.
Long-sightedness (hyperopia)
If the cornea and lens are not strong enough, or the eye is too short, light comes into focus behind the retina. This causes objects in the far distance to be blurred and even more so for those close up.
Astigmatism
This occurs when the cornea has different curvatures: it is shaped more like an AFL football rather than a soccer ball. This makes focusing uneven or distorted, and objects are blurry in the distance or up close.
