The beauty of the world can be appreciated with our eyes, but problems with our sense of vision can reduce the clarity and quality of this wonder, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and complete blindness. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, over 150 million Americans wear glasses and about 37 million wear contact lenses to correct daily eyesight issues. In hopes of long-term treatment of refractive errors and achieving 20/20 vision, laser eye surgeries, such as Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) and Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), are performed.We are joined today by Dr. Dagny Zhu, a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained specialist in cornea, cataract, and laser refractive surgery.
