Many people swear by LASIK eye surgery and for those in Los Angeles LASIK eye surgery it may be considered a necessity.

As they say "image is everything" and especially in Los Angeles LASIK eye surgery enables you to get rid of the dependence on those ugly eyeglasses and the dry and uncomfortable contacts that you wear.

LASIK is for anyone who has decided they are "sick and tired" of wearing either glasses or contact lenses any more. LASIK is a medical procedure that is done by a qualified eye surgeon. LASIK surgery alters the shape of the cornea in the eye and improves the person's vision, almost immediately.

However LASIK does, however rarely, have complications and there are concerns as to the long-term implications of having this surgery done. So far though "so good", and long-term implications appear to be promising with complications rarely being reported.

As a result of the slight amount of risk, technology continues to advance and the more recent development of All-Laser LASIK surgery uses an extra laser beam instead of a blade in creating the flap in the front of the eye to correct the problem. After the flap is lifted, then the second laser beam corrects and reshapes the eye.

With LASIC a laser is used to perform the most delicate part of the procedure and that means a lot of human error is removed. This improves the success rate of the procedure and helps reduce the margin for error.

In the eye the cornea focuses light; this light then creates an image on the retina. It actually works very much as a camera does when taking a photo. However, this "photo" is not always clear because for many people their eyes are not a perfect shape. This is when the images people see become blurred. (Again this is much as a photograph is when it is out of focus).

Because light is bent and refracted when sending images from the cornea to the lens of the eye, when it's distorted, they become refractive errors. This is when eye glasses or contact lenses need to be worn usually for the rest of that person's life.

There are three types of refractive errors that can be improved with LASIK surgery;

Myopia Hyperopia Astigmatism

Myopia is near sightedness which is when a person has difficulty focusing on anything in the distance.

When someone has Hyperopia, they are far sighted. This means they can see things far away, but have difficulty focusing on anything which is close to them.

Astigmatism occurs when there is a distortion of the image on the retina. These are caused by irregularities in the cornea or lens of the eye.

All three of these eye conditions are very common, and it is possible to have more than one at the same time.

This is where eye glasses and contact lens come into their own. Correctly fitted eyewear compensates for the problems associated with refractive errors and allows the vision to be corrected.

Lasik surgery takes these corrective measures one step further and allows the vision to be much improved. LASIK surgery doesn't always give 20/20 vision, but it can make vast improvements which can then assist in improving a person's confidence and quality of life.
