Refractive surgery is a group of procedures designed to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses by correcting common vision problems such as myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism.
Who can consider refractive surgery?
Refractive surgery may be suitable for adults whose eye power is stable and whose eyes are otherwise healthy. A detailed eye examination and corneal assessment are essential before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.
What are the options?
Depending on your eye and corneal characteristics, options may include LASIK, PRK, Trans-PRK, Phakic lens(ICL) or other vision correction procedures. The best procedure is individualised based on your prescription, corneal thickness and lifestyle.
Is refractive surgery right for you?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate. A comprehensive evaluation helps determine whether refractive surgery is safe and which procedure may provide the best outcome.
