Eye Refractive Surgery is a set of procedures that correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. The goal is to reduce or remove the need for glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea so light focuses properly on the retina.

The most common option is LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), which reshapes the cornea using a laser. It offers minimal discomfort and quick recovery. Other choices include PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), SMILE, and lens-based procedures for people with higher prescriptions or age-related changes.

Doctors perform Eye Refractive Surgery on an outpatient basis, and most procedures take only minutes. Patients often notice clearer vision within a day or two. Results are long-lasting and provide greater freedom from corrective eyewear.

This surgery is best for people who want sharper vision and a more active lifestyle without the limits of glasses or contacts.
