Lasik surgery with lasik plus technology can be used to correct three types of eye disorders: o Nearsightedness o Farsightedness and o Astigmatism Nearsightedness can be corrected using lasik plus with Lasik eye surgery.
In medical terms nearsightedness is termed as Myopia.
In such circumstances people can see things which are close but things far away are often blurred or unclear.
In such cases a negative power is attributed to the patient's eye condition in the ophthalmologist's prescription.
Farsightedness, referred in medical profession as Hyperopia, is usually a condition in which people can usually see things that are far away better than things that are closer.
Such people are attributed with positive eyesight in the ophthalmologist's prescription.
Astigmatism causes a distortion of vision, where a person may experience an overall blurriness for both objects near as well as far.
Information pertaining to astigmatism is attributed by ophthalmologists as a cylindrical power in the prescription.
Many people afflicted with myopia or hyperopia have a certain degree of astigmatism along with the standard negative or positive eye sight.
Presbyopia in Greek language means "Elderly Vision".
Muscles that control the movement of the eye lens lose their elasticity and flexibility due to aging.
It occurs in most individuals after the age of forty years and is normally considered to be an age related problem.
Lasik plus technology has not been able to answer this problem since the natural deterioration of muscle due to aging cannot be fully controlled for an extended period of time.
However, research is underway and soon a remedy (that may not be lasik plus) would become possible for this vision problem.
Complicated cases are often diagnosed with people having presbyopia in combination with myopia or nearsightedness.
Nearsightedness can be effectively corrected by lasik surgery or lasik plus, but presbyopia cannot be; however, we may be able to find an adjustment to compensate for both.
