Introduction to Laser Eye Surgery

Laser eye surgery, also known as laser sculpting, has been performed for over 20 years to correct vision issues like short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure involves using a computer-controlled laser to reshape the cornea, potentially eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. While some patients may still require corrective lenses for optimal vision, many experience significant improvements. The surgery is chosen for its convenience and the ability to engage in activities without glasses. Long-term effects are minimal if the eyes are suitable for the procedure.
