What types of visual impairment can laser eye surgery correct?
The laser can be used to alter, with extreme precision, the refraction of the cornea in the intended direction, curing either short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hypermetropia) or astigmatism. After painless laser surgery taking only a few minutes, you can have clear distance vision for your lifetime without the need ever again for spectacles or contact lenses.
