Refractive surgery, such as LASIK, is a popular option for vision correction, often eliminating the need to wear glasses or contact lenses. Simply put, refractive surgery reshapes the cornea with a laser.
Another refractive surgery technique, called phakic IOL implantation, involves implanting a lens behind the cornea, but in front of the iris. With this new option, many of those who were too highly nearsighted for LASIK are now candidates for refractive surgery.
