Broward LASIK Testimonials
Three Main Conditions Treated by LASIK
At Broward County Lasik there are three main conditions we treat with forms of LASIK surgery – Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism. Below you will find descriptions of each condition.
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Myopia is often referred to as “nearsightedness” simply because people with myopia see objects that are near to them clearly, but have blurred vision with objects that are far away. In the case of myopia, the simple explanation if that the eyeball is too long, or the cornea might be too steep. This prevents the image from being focused properly on the retina at the back of the eye. Therefore, myopia is a refractive defect, or refractive error in the focusing of light by your eye. A refractive error causes reduced visual acuity, or simply a blurriness or unclear image. As of now, theories go back and forth about whether or not myopia is genetic or caused by environmental factors. However, with LASIK surgery technology and the expert surgeons at Broward County Lasik, you need not concern yourself with how it happened to you and only think about how quickly and efficiently Broward County Lasik can help you combat myopia, and how you will see much better without the use of contact lenses or glasses.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Hyperopia is most often referred to as farsightedness, or long-sightedness. Those people with hyperopia, or hypermetropia have trouble focusing on objects close to them. This is because the eyeball is too short or the lens has trouble becoming round enough. The more the object moves closer, the blurrier the object gets with hyperopia. Patients who come into Broward County Lasik with hyperopia are often distraught because of the backwards nature of hyperopia, but we always assure results. When an object moves closer, the eye must increase power to have the image focused on the retina, but if the cornea and lens are insufficient the image will be blurred, as in hyperopia. At Broward County Lasik, we use the top technological resources and machinery, along with the best surgeons to help ease your mind and reverse this condition.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is blurriness in the focusing of objects by the eye caused by irregular curvatures in the cornea of lens of the eye. This usually happens because of a scar on the cornea or a problem with scattering of the lens. This causes a refractive error in the eye. Therefore, here at Broward County Lasik we use refractive surgery to help combat this condition. With top-notch service and specialists we can help your issues with astigmatism, and get your seeing clearly. Broward County Lasik sees countless cases of astigmatism, and you’ll see from our testimonials, and results, that we have what it takes to help you get through it and see better than ever.
