 LASIK
is refractive laser surgery that "reshapes vision";
therefore, eliminating the dependence on glasses or contact
lenses. During the procedure, a computer, programmed by the
doctor for each person's own correction factors, controls
the laser and the reshaping of the cornea. The procedure is
quick, painless and has minimal recovery time.
Refractive surgery has been performed since the early 1970's
to improve nearsightedness (myopia),
farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.
These conditions of the eye are due to the abnormal shape
of the cornea:
- Myopia is caused by a steeply curved cornea
or elongated eye.
- Hyperopia is when the cornea is too flat or
the eye is too short.
- Astigmatism is when the cornea is irregular
and egg-shaped.
The result of a misshaped cornea is blurred near vision, distant
vision or both.
At the Castleman Eye Center, we have been performing refractive
surgery since 1987 and have had the opportunity to successfully
relieve thousands and thousands of patients from the burden
and expense of corrective lenses.
