Millions of Americans turn to LASIK surgery when their vision less than perfect, and they are tired of being tied to wearing glasses or contacts. What part of the eye is that all of your vision problems? The cornea! When the shape of the cornea is irregular, is the image on your retina blurry and out-of-focus. The cornea is a part of your eyes that works to concentrate light and projects an image on the retina. This focus is called refraction of light. The 3 main types of refractive errors include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism.  If you're myopic, you're having trouble seeing distant objects. Are you far-sighted, you're having trouble seeing things close up. Astigmatism is caused by irregularities in the surface of the cornea or lens and ensures that the image on the retina are distorted.It is not uncommon for a person to a combination of all 3 refractive errors, nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Before LASIK surgery were glasses and contact lenses the main ways of your eye to compensate for deficiencies.
