Refractive Surgery

Any surgical technique used to treat vision issues is referred to as vision correction surgery, also known as refractive and laser organ of sight surgery. Huge improvements have been made in this field recently. More individuals can see clearly than ever before because to laser and refractive eye surgery. The clear front portion of the eye, the cornea, is reshaped by the majority of vision correction surgeries. That permits light to pass through it and properly focus on the retina, the rear of your eye.
