Does Lasik Work for Myopia?

Objects that far away appear blurry or unclear due to myopia, also known as nearsightedness. Blurred images occur when light focuses on the retina instead of the retina itself because of the shape of the eye. A person’s ability to perform everyday tasks, such as reading signage and driving, can be impacted by myopia, which ranges from mild to severe. This is why many persons chose to check on Lasik for myopia.

Many people used glasses or contact lenses to correct their myopia in the past, which was highly frustrating and disturbing. Myopia can, however, now be corrected with laser vision correction thanks to technological advances.

How Does LASIK Work on Myopia?

During laser eye surgery, the cornea, the eye’s clear front surface, is reshaped to improve light entry and focus on the retina. In laser vision correction, Lasik for myopia is one of the most common procedures. The cornea is flapped by a thin, hinged flap during LASIK surgery. In the wake of lifting the flap, an excimer laser is used to shape the corneal tissue under it. The laser removes a small amount of corneal tissue, flattening the cornea and allowing light to focus on the retina properly. After repositioning the flap onto the cornea, it adheres without stitches.

A PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) procedure can also correct myopia. There is no corneal flap created with PRK, unlike LASIK. Using an excimer laser, the epithelium of the cornea is removed to reshape it. After the cornea has been reshaped, the epithelium regrows naturally. If you have thin or irregular corneas that make LASIK unsuitable, PRK may be the best option.

Myopia can be permanently corrected with laser vision correction in many cases. There are, however, some people who cannot undergo the procedure. An eye doctor performs a thorough exam and consultation to determine if laser vision correction suits each patient’s unique needs and expectations. Moreover, laser vision correction should only be considered if a patient’s vision is stable and generally has good eye health.

Myopia, or blurred vision of distant objects, is a common eye disease. A laser vision correction is capable of reshaping the cornea, though not everyone is a good candidate. Depending on an individual’s needs and expectations, laser vision correction may be appropriate.
