| | Corrective lenses, then, are prescribed to correct for aberrations, to adjust the focal point onto the retina or to compensate for other abnormalities. | | | The lens may not be able to change its curve to properly match the image (called accommodation). | | | Myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when a distant object looks blurred because the image comes into focus before it reaches the retina. |

| | Because the natural lens is not removed during the procedure the patient will not experience any loss of intermediate or near vision after the surgery. | | | The procedure is known as laser vision correction and has been extremely successful at treating a wide range of visual disorders. | | | Following the laser vision correction surgery, a thin non-prescriptive contact lens is applied to the eye to provide comfort and protection for the first several days of healing. |

| | Some of the latest options for vision correction are surgical procedures which use diamond-tipped blades or cool beams of laser energy to correct the shape of the cornea and restore vision to normal or close to normal. | | | In addition to correcting focusing problems -- such as nearsightedness and farsightedness -- eyeglasses can prevent headaches and muscle fatigue that result from straining to see without vision correction. | | | Today, an overwhelming number of vision correction options are available, from eyeglasses to the most advanced vision surgery. |
