Charles H. Stewart, MD Cosmetic Surgery

It has been more than two decades since excimer laser eye surgery, sometimes known as laser vision correction, first became popular. When this operation is performed, the requirement for glasses or contact lenses is reduced or eliminated entirely. In order to make an informed decision about laser eye surgery, you must be aware of the procedure's basics, including what to expect as well as its advantages, dangers, and alternatives.

Individuals who are myopic (nearsighted), hyperopic (farsighted), or/and have astigmatism, which is an abnormality in the surface of the front of the eye, the cornea, can benefit from laser vision correction.
