Common Vision Problems


There are three main parts to the human eye: the cornea, the lens, and the retina. The retina is like a film in a camera. In normal vision, the cornea refracts (bends) light so it can be directed correctly through the lens and onto the retina accounting for 70% of the eye's focusing ability. When we experience vision problems requiring glasses, these are often the result of irregularities of the shape of the cornea. LASIK solves these issues by using lasers to reshape the curvature of the cornea to improve focus.
