Refractive surgery, including procedures like TransPRK and Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL), aims to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. These techniques reshape the cornea or implant a corrective lens inside the eye to improve focusing ability, reducing or eliminating dependence on glasses or contact lenses. While refractive surgery can offer significant vision improvement, thorough pre-operative evaluations are necessary to assess candidacy and discuss potential risks and benefits with an ophthalmologist.
