A Vision Realized
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has virtually revolutionized the
way we treat and even think about nearsightedness. In fact, the vision quality
made possible by LASIK is actually better than that which could be attained
by conventional corrective eyeglasses/contact lenses 25 years ago. The fact is
that conventional lenses made the world look smaller in the eyes of nearsighted
individuals. For each diopter of correction, images seen through corrective
lenses shrank two percent. Thus, a nearsighted person with a -10 diopter
correction would see a world that was 20 percent smaller. However, since LASIK
corrects the underlying condition that leads to nearsightedness by reducing the
curvature of the cornea, laser surgery leads to a more natural vision correction.
LASIK may decrease your dependence on glasses and contacts or, in some
cases, allow you to do without them entirely. Regular eye examinations by
an ophthalmologist are important means of detecting eye disease in its early
stages. Early detection, prompt treatment, and regular monitoring can enable
you to continue living in much the same way as you have always lived. Don’t
jeopardize this possibility.
