Refractive
Conditions Improved By LASIK
Nearsightedness

This
condition occurs when light rays entering the eye focus in front of
the retina instead of directly on the retina, causing blurry vision
at a distance.
Astigmatism
(Blurry Vision)
If
your vision is blurred at all distances, you may have astigmatism.
This is due to an irregular shaped cornea causing light rays to form
two focal points.
Farsightedness
