A refractive surgery is a method for correcting or improving your vision. Usually, it is done to get rid of or reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Refractive surgery for an individual is a good option if one,
- Is free of any eye disease
- Wish to decrease the dependence on glasses or contact lenses
- Accepts the inherent risks and potential side effects of the procedure
- Understand the fact that in some selected cases, one could still need glasses or contacts after the procedure to achieve the best vision
