Refractive surgery has been used since 1980 and is a well-established way of treating refractive errors. With today’s technology, nearsightedness (difficulty seeing far), farsightedness (difficulty seeing near) and astigmatism (blurred vision) can be treated with laser.
Laser treatment aims to improve patients’ quality of life and comfort. i-LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is the most widely used method of treating refractive errors in the world today. It is personalised: the treatment is planned around the patient’s eye structure after detailed examinations and tests.
