Types of eyesight problems corrected by LASIK




myopia-nearsightedness This occurs when the eye is too long, causing the focal point occurs too soon.

hyperopia-farsightedness This occurs when the eye is too short, causing the focal point to be beyond where it should be.

astigmatism-when the lens is not perfectly smooth. There could be a rough spot or it could be uneven.

The only thing that LASIK cannot fix or prevent is the loss of eyesight due to old age.

Got in. Thanks. I had a midterm test (aarg!) in a class that I am taking and a project due in the other class, so I was swamped.

You blog looks good though.
