How does laser eye surgery work?Hi, it’s Matt Russell from VSON Laser Vision Specialists. If you’re wondering how laser eye surgery works, I’ll explain what you need to know in this blog post.All forms of laser eye surgery work on the cornea, this is the front, transparent window of the eye.The reason people need to wear glasses is that the focusing power of the eye hasn’t developed quite accurately.The eye is effectively like a camera that’s out of focus. When you wear contact lenses or glasses, you place a lens in front of this optical camera system to correct the focus, placing light in focus on the back of the eye.If we want to get rid of the need to wear glasses, we can use a laser to sculpt the shape of the contact lens or the shape of the glass’ lens onto the surface of the eye. So effectively, you’re reconfiguring and rebalancing this optical system, so it’s perfectly in focus.That’s how all laser eye surgery works. It reshapes the cornea at the front of the eye.To learn more about laser eye surgery and know which eye surgery is best for free you from the hassle of glasses and contact lenses, please book online for a free laser vision assessment on our website today.Found this post useful?
