Perfect Vision Optical do not perform laser surgery, however, due to our relationship with the Medical community we are able to refer the appropriate candidates seeking laser surgery to an experienced practitioner without the need to visit a General Practitioner, please feel free to talk to us about laser surgery.

The shape of your eye determines how good your vision can focus. Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, then through the pupil and the lens.  In a normal eye the light rays are focused onto the retina, a light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye.  Signals from the retina are sent through the optic nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted as the images we see.

 

 

Refractive errors exist because the curvature of the cornea doesn't match the length of the eye so light rays cannot focus properly on the retina. Refractive surgery procedures attempt to fix this by changing the shape of the front surface (the cornea) or adding a permanent lens to improve the focus.
 

 

Eye conditions treatable by refractive surgery include:
Myopia (short sightedness)
Hyperopia (far sightedness)
Astigmatism (irregular curvature of lens or cornea)
Presbyopia (loss of reading vision)
Cataracts (a clouding of the lens)
