Refractive surgery
In a normal eye, the light rays are converged on the retina (film camera) by the cornea located in front of the eye and the lens, located inside of the eye. In the myopic eye, light rays converge in front of the retina due mostly to excessive length of the eye. In the hyperopic eye, light rays converge behind the retina, usually because of an eye is too short. The astigmatic eye has abnormal corneal curvature. These refractive errors can be corrigéees by glasses, contact lenses and refractive surgery techniques. These techniques have in common to correct abnormal curvature of the cornea, sometimes the lens and thereby change the light path.
Several surgical techniques are available depending on the correction to be achieved. The most suitable for your particular case will be chosen after a thorough review with your surgeon. The methods of modern refractive surgery, can correct nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness. Depending on the size of the defect preoperatively, the result can be perfect or partial. The desired result can never be fully guaranteed as it depends on the healing phenomena that vary with individuals. Corrected by glasses, contact lenses, or reoperation may be necessary, most often an ad hoc basis (eg driving).
The refractive surgery is real surgery, and are always risks. Serious complications can lead to loss of vision to see the loss of the eye are absolutely exceptional. Small drawbacks such as the perception of halos around lights, a tendency to glare (often already present in pre-operative), a small reduction in visual acuity, even with correction, a gene for night vision may occur so transiitoire or permanently. In rare cases, they may require medical or surgical treatment.
