Vision Correction Surgery
Vision correction surgery refers to a range of medical procedures designed to improve eyesight by reshaping the cornea or implanting lenses. Common types include LASIK, PRK, and cataract surgery. These surgeries aim to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses, making daily activities easier for those with refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness).
The procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis and involve minimal recovery time. Candidates for vision correction surgery undergo thorough evaluations to determine their suitability, considering factors such as age, eye health, and prescription stability.
