What You Need To Know

If your natural lens is clear, and you’re under age 50, then you’re likely a better candidate for LASIK (Laser Assisted in situ Keratomileusis). This is because your natural lens still has some near focusing ability left, though it may be diminished, and the LASIK surgery can correct your distance vision while you use this near focusing ability of your lens to help see up close. LASIK is a surgery of the cornea, or front surface of the eye, and during LASIK the natural lens is not touched.
