Refractive Surgery Pathology

Refractive surgery pathology refers to the study of the changes and healing processes that occur in the eye after procedures aimed at correcting vision, such as LASIK orPRK. These surgeries reshape the cornea to improve how light is focused on the retina. Understanding the pathology involves examining the tissue responses, potential complications, and any long-term effects on eye health. This research helps ensure that surgical techniques are safe and effective, ultimately enhancing visual outcomes for patients while minimizing risks of complications like scarring or infection.
