If you suffer from poor eyesight, you're not alone. In fact, you're one of many. Thousands of people suffer from common eye conditions that result in poor vision, which is why so many people wear contacts or eyeglasses. But the costs of contacts can really add up and eyeglasses can also be expensive. For this and other reasons, many people choose to correct their vision with refractive surgery rather than relying on lenses for the rest of their life. Refractive surgery, also known as LASIK, can be a huge benefit to many. Three common eye conditions that can be treated with LASIK surgery include myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. You may have heard of myopia and hyperopia by their more common names: nearsightedness and farsightedness. People with myopia are able to see close objects clearly, while objects that are far away may be difficult to see. People with hyperopia have the opposite problems. Objects that are far away are clear while objects that are near are fuzzy. Astigmatism is a type of problem that causes blurred vision at all distances and is also very common. Fortunately, all three of these conditions can be treated with refractive surgery. However, there are also less common conditions that can be treated. Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease resulting from diabetes that causes the blood vessels in the retina to grow abnormally and leak fluid. The result is vision loss. Laser surgery can fix this problem. Retinal tears or holes can also be treated with laser surgery. Talk to your eye doctor if you are wondering if laser surgery is right for you.
