Refractive surgery

Refractive Surgery Laguna Hills
Refractive surgery aims to correct errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Several different procedures are considered refractive. Some reshape the cornea to allow accurate pass-through of light into the eye, other involve implantation of a lens to correct vision issues. Of the refractive surgeries available, LASIK is the most common. People who have myopia (nearsightedness) see objects at a distance out of focus. This is because the light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina, not on it. In these patients, the eye is longer and the corneal curve is steep. Refractive surgery reduces the steepness of … Continue reading

Types of Multifocal Lenses
Multifocal lenses have revolutionized cataract surgery. In the past, patients were not given much of a say when it came to the lenses implanted after cataract surgery. In fact, the decision was left up the physician. Now, advancements in technology have made it so that patients have a large say in which lenses are used. Which multifocal lens is used depends largely on the patient’s feelings about wearing glasses after surgery. While the lens may not eliminate the need for glasses, the number of situations in which they are needed can be reduced. There are several different types of multifocal … Continue reading

Did you know cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful surgical procedures performed in the US each year?

Typically, this lens targets distance vision which leaves patients dependent on prescription eyewear for near vision such as reading. Some of the most common approaches to cataracts surgery include: Placement of monofocal IOLs for distance in both eyes with the understanding the patient will require reading glasses Placement of a monofocal IOL targeting distance in the dominant eye and one … Continue reading

What are IOL in Laguna Hills
The human eye is complex. Similar to a camera, it focuses light on to the retina to record an image. Each portion of the eye plays an important role in your vision.

Positioned behind the cornea and iris, the lens can change shape based on the distance of the object. The lens becomes stretched to focus on distant objects and rounded to focus on close objects. When the lens becomes cloudy, usually from a protein buildup that occurs … Continue reading
