How does removing the thin layer of the eyes cornea change my vision?
The removal of a thin layer of tissue from the surface of the cornea flattens the shape in the case of myopia, steepens its shape in the case of hyperopia, and restores the spherical shape in the case of astigmatism., This allows the cornea to better focus incoming light rays, significantly improving vision. The thickness of the layer removed is less than that of a human hair. The goal of laser vision correction is to reduce or, in most cases, even eliminate your need for glasses or contact lenses.
