What is refractive error?

Refractive error is a common vision problem that occurs when the eye cannot properly focus light onto the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. This results in blurred or distorted vision. Types of refractive errors:
  • myopia (nearsightedness): distant objects appear blurry
  • hyperopia (farsightedness): near objects appear blurry
  • astigmatism: occurs when cornea (clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye) is irregularly shaped causing near and distant objects to appear blurry or defocus
  • presbyopia: age-related condition that makes it harder to focus on close objects

Refractive errors can be corrected with glasses and contact lens. For those seeking more permanent solutions, refractive surgery options such as LASIK or PRK can reshape the cornea to correct the error.

Who benefit from vision correcting surgery?

Refractive surgery can offer significant benefits to people of all ages by providing lasting freedom from glasses or contact lenses.

For younger individuals, these procedures can correct vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, improving their quality of life at work, in school, and during physical activities. It can be particularly advantageous for athletes and active individuals who may find glasses or contact lenses restrictive.

For adults, refractive surgery can provide a long-term solution for fluctuating prescriptions, reducing the hassle and cost of constantly updating corrective lenses. Additionally, those with presbyopia may benefit from certain refractive procedures like monovision LASIK, which helps improve near vision without the need for reading glasses.

In older adults, refractive surgery can be a life-changing option for maintaining independence. By enhancing visual clarity, it helps older individuals stay active, perform daily tasks more comfortably, and enjoy hobbies like reading or driving without needing glasses. The ability to see clearly at various distances can improve safety and confidence.

LASIK

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a vision correction surgery that reshapes the cornea using a laser to improve refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and offers rapid recovery, often eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

PRK

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors by removing the outer layer of the cornea (epithelium), which naturally regenerates after surgery. It is an alternative to LASIK, particularly for individuals with thin corneas, with a slightly longer recovery period and gradual vision improvement.

EVO ICL

EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a vision correction procedure where a biocompatible lens is implanted between the eye’s natural lens and iris to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Unlike LASIK or PRK, it does not involve reshaping the cornea and is reversible, making it suitable for individuals with thin corneas or dry eyes. The procedure offers sharp, high-quality vision with a fast recovery time and no visible lens.

REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE(RLE)

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a surgical procedure where the eye’s natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors such as presbyopia, nearsightedness, or farsightedness. It is similar to cataract surgery but performed before a cataract develops, often benefiting those who are not ideal candidates for LASIK or PRK. RLE can significantly reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses and prevents future cataract formation, offering long-term vision correction.
