When all of its parts work perfectly, light foc(ises directly on the retina to produce sharp. clear vision.. The front surface- of the eye i called the cornea and is riot always perfect. 1f the cornea's shape is too. steep, too flat,: or irregularly curved. light will not focus directly on the retina The end result is blurred vision, or what we call, refractive error.•better known as nearsighted, farsighted, or astigmatism Modern refractive. surgery. corrects these. errors by using a laser h acts as a sculpting tool and vaporizes small amounts of tissue Ltt, try and produce the nght shaped cornea.

This appears to be more prevalent with people hiving strong spectacle prescriptions. 1s laser eye surgery safe? My answer is yes; but only in the hands of the most experienced surgeons.
