Overview LASIK eye surgery is the best known and most commonly performed laser refractive surgery to correct vision problems. Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can be an alternative to glasses or contact lenses. During LASIK surgery, a special type of cutting laser is used to precisely change the shape of the dome-shaped clear tissue at the front of your eye (cornea) to improve vision. In eyes with normal vision, the cornea bends (refracts) light precisely onto the retina at the back of the eye. But with nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) or astigmatism, the light is bent incorrectly, resulting in blurred vision. Glasses or contact lenses can correct vision, but reshaping the cornea itself also will provide the necessary refraction. Why it's done LASIK surgery may be an option for the correction of one of these vision problems: Nearsightedness (myopia). When your eyeball is slightly longer than normal or when the cornea cur...

ZDry eye syndrome can occur at any age, and in people who are otherwise healthy. It is more common with older age, when the individual produces fewer tears. It is also more common in women than in men. It is more common in places where malnutrition results in a vitamin A deficiency. Causes The eyes produce tears all the time, not only when we yawn or experience emotion. Healthy eyes are constantly covered with a fluid, known as a tear film. It is designed to remain stable between each blink. This prevents the eyes from becoming dry and enables clear vision. If the tear glands produce fewer tears, the tear film can become unstable. It can break down quickly, creating dry spots on the surface of the eyes. Tears are made of water, fatty oils, protein, electrolytes, substances to fight off bacteria, and growth factors. The mixture helps keep the surface of the eyes smooth and clear, so that we can see properly. Dry eyes can result from: an imbalance in the...

Other ways to describe blurred vision include clouded or dim vision. What are the causes of blurred vision? There can be many causes of blurred vision. Examples of common causes are: refractive errors, such as near-sightedness, far-sightedness, or astigmatism abrasions to the cornea age-related macular degeneration cataracts corneal opacification, or scarring infectious retinitis migraine optic neuritis retinopathy, such as diabetic retinopathy stroke trauma or injury to the eyes People with diabetes can also experience blurred vision if their blood sugar levels fluctuate significantly.

The conjunctiva is the transparent membrane that covers the surface of the eye. The conjunctiva contains tiny blood vessels that can break or leak after sudden increases in pressure.
