Can all eye conditions be treated with laser eye surgery?
Most common refractive eye conditions can be corrected with laser eye surgery.
Nearsightedness (myopia)
Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, means that you can see well at close distances, but objects farther away appear blurry.
Farsightedness (hyperopia)
With farsightedness, you have difficulty seeing objects clearly up close. For example, reading small print may require extra effort.
Age-related farsightedness (presbyopia)
Due to the natural aging process, the eye gradually loses its ability to focus on nearby objects.
Astigmatism (cylindrical error)
With astigmatism, vision is reduced because the eye is not perfectly round, but shaped more like a rugby ball. Which type of laser treatment is most suitable for you depends, among other factors, on your prescription.
