Corrective eye surgery
Corrective eye surgery has became increasingly popular over the last 20 years.First vision was corrected by the use of spectacles, a vision correcting system which has been around for hundreds of years.
In the mid 20th century contact lenses emerged and every year are worn by more and more people.The latest contact lenses can correct not just short sight but also astigmatism and prebyopia/reading problems, with bifocal,multifocal and numerous types of disposable lenses available. Eye surgery to correct vision became popular in the 1980s with PRK procedures,and its popularity is growing with the advent of lasik and custom lasik/wavefront surgery. Will the future of vision correction mean a permanent end to the use of spectacles or contact lenses? Only time will tell!
