Refractive surgery (or vision correction surgery) is any surgical procedure used for fixing vision problems. There are various surgical procedures for correcting or adjusting your eye's focusing ability by reshaping the cornea; the clear, round dome at the front of your eye. The cornea plays an important part in the eye's visual ability. Most types of vision correction surgery reshape your cornea, the clear front part of your eye, that lets light travel through it and focus properly on the back of your eye, or retina.

Recent years have seen huge advances in this field. Refractive and laser eye surgery allow many patients to see better than any other time in their lives.
