Sawgrass Lasik uses LASIK surgery to help with many conditions that hinder eyesight. The three main conditions, Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism are described below.

Nearsightedness (Myopia)

Nearsightedness, or Myopia, is a condition that exists when people have trouble seeing objects far away, but can easily focus on objects close to them. The simple explanation in the case of Myopia is that the eyeball is literally too long, or the cornea on the eye might be too steep. This condition prevents the eye from focusing the image properly on the retina. This is why Myopia is considered a refractive defect or refractive error as far as focusing of light is concerned. Refractive errors cause blurriness or reduced visual acuity. Theories as of late describe Myopia as either a genetic or environmental effect. The good thing is, with LASIK surgery today at Sawgrass Lasik, expert surgeons can help or fix this condition, so you don’t need to worry how it happened, and just consider how soon you’d like to get it taken care of. Treatment of Myopia at Sawgrass Lasik will help you see better, and may eliminate your need for corrective lenses all together.

Farsightedness (Hyperopia)

Farsightedness, or Hyperopia, is an eye condition where people have trouble seeing objects close to them, but can focus on objects far away. This is usually because the eyeball is too short, or the lens has trouble becoming round enough. The closer the object becomes, the blurrier the object will be with people who have Hyperopia. Hyperopia can be a strange experience for people, especially because of the backwards nature of the condition. In other words, people expect to have a hard time seeing things far away, but when close objects begin to be blurry, it can be disheartening. That’s where we come in. Sawgrass Lasik can help you fight against the worries and inconvenience of Hyperopia, and possibly get rid of your need for glasses or contacts that you originally needed because of Hyperopia. If you can’t stand having this condition any longer, come visit Sawgrass Lasik.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is when a person has blurriness in the eye caused by irregular curvatures in the cornea. This often happens because of a scar on the cornea or an issue with a scattering of the lens, which causes a refractive error in the eye. At Sawgrass Lasik, our surgeons use LASIK surgery to help you with this condition. We’ll help you get your sight back to a manageable state, or improve your sight to a point that you may have never experienced in your life. Sawgrass Lasik helps countless amounts of patients who suffer from astigmatism see the way the always wished they could.
