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.
