Why is Lenticular Refractive surgery so much better than Corneal Refractive surgery?
Lenticular Refractive surgery (Safe Incisionsm ReSTOR Surgery) does not affect the cornea in any way. The cornea is not distorted, warped, thinned, or flattened as it is with corneal refractive surgery (LASIK). The lens inside the eye is simply replaced by another lens of a different power, like changing the power of a contact lens. The corneal structure remains in the same condition as it was prior to the surgery. Corneal refractive surgery will not provide distance and reading vision in the same eye. Only Lenticular Refractive surgery provides this.
