Refractive Error

Most of the visual complain is related to refractive problems (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism). The conventional treatment is based on medical spectacles, followed by contact lenses. The spectacles could be inconvenient to many patients, especially with high prescriptions, due to heavy weight if the glasses, or for cosmetic reasons. Contact lenses are not without risks, and patients who use them are more likely to develop vision-compromising complications over time than patients who have LASIK surgery.
