Corneal Reshaping Surgery

Corneal reshaping surgery, often called corneal refractive surgery, is a procedure designed to improve vision by altering the shape of the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. This is commonly done through techniques like LASIK, where a laser is used to remove a precise amount of corneal tissue. By reshaping the cornea, light entering the eye can focus more accurately on the retina, reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is typically quick and can provide long-lasting results, making it a popular choice for those with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
