Clear vision is something many of us take for granted—until it starts to blur. Whether it’s difficulty seeing distant objects, reading up close, or struggling with night vision, common refractive errors can significantly impact daily life. Fortunately, LASIK surgery has transformed the way millions of people see the world—literally. At Inland Eye LASIK, we’re proud to offer this life-changing procedure, helping patients achieve sharper, more natural vision and reduce their dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
What Is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most popular and advanced vision correction surgeries available today. The procedure uses a highly precise laser to reshape the cornea—the clear front part of your eye—so that light entering the eye focuses correctly on the retina. This improved focus corrects common refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), LASIK has a strong safety profile and an impressive success rate, with most patients achieving 20/25 vision or better after surgery. The AAO notes that advancements in laser technology have made LASIK more accurate and customizable than ever before.
“LASIK continues to be one of the most effective and safest surgical procedures available for vision correction,” says the AAO. “Patients can expect excellent outcomes when screened properly and treated by an experienced surgeon.”
Common Eye Problems LASIK Can Correct
1. Nearsightedness (Myopia)
Nearsightedness occurs when the cornea is too steep or the eye is slightly longer than normal, causing distant objects to appear blurry. LASIK surgery corrects this by flattening the cornea, allowing light rays to focus properly on the retina. This results in clearer distance vision—perfect for driving, watching TV, or enjoying outdoor activities without glasses.
2. Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
Farsightedness makes it difficult to focus on nearby objects, such as reading or working on a computer. LASIK treats hyperopia by steepening the cornea, which helps the light rays focus more accurately on the retina. After LASIK, patients often notice a significant improvement in both near and distance vision.
3. Astigmatism
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is irregularly shaped, causing distorted or blurred vision at all distances. LASIK smooths out the corneal surface to create a more uniform shape, improving visual clarity. Many patients with astigmatism experience crisp, stable vision for the first time in years following LASIK treatment.
4. Combination Refractive Errors
It’s common for patients to have a mix of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The advanced laser technology used at Inland Eye LASIK allows for precise customization of the corneal reshaping process, addressing multiple issues in a single procedure.
