Your Ophthalmologist then makes an individualized treatment plan for each patient. Since no eyes are similar, each treatment plan is different from the other.
4. This topography-guided Lasik surgery refines the abnormalities of the cornea. The quality of your vision is restored so that the light can penetrate the eye easily and evenly. Hence the vision is clear and sharp. This technique is an advanced version of the standard corrections.
