How LASIK Cures Nearsightedness
When an individual is facing nearsightedness, they will be able to see objects quite close but will face difficulty in seeing objects that are far away because of refractive error in each or both of the eyes. The Mayo Clinic refers that a refractive problem means that the shape of an eye helps to prevent the rays of light from refracting (bending) correctly. LASIK aims to treat the refractive problem. LASIK is widely successful when it occurs in curing nearsightedness. LASIK is a perfect treatment for nearsightedness, with a huge rate of success that is almost 99% of achieving 20/40 vision, across 90% of attaining 20/20 vision, and 96 % people are happy and satisfied with their improvement in their vision.
