Caring for your eyes – by Dr. Arun Gulani, Jacksonville LASIK Surgeon
Normal Vision
Just like a camera, the eye has a viewfinder (called the cornea) a shutter (called the iris) and a lens. Normal, clear vision occurs when light rays pass through them and the image focuses directly on the film (called the retina). When light rays don’t converge and focus directly on the retina, this results in “refractive errors” and blurry vision.
Nearsightedness (myopia)
This occurs when the cornea is curved too steep in relation to the length (front to back) of the eye. This bends the light more sharply and makes the image focus in front of the retina, as opposed to directly on it. When this occurs, near objects can be seen clearly, but objects in the distance are blurry. Advanced Lasik surgery treats this refractive problem by slightly flattening the corneal curvature, so the focal point of the image is moved back and directly on the retina. Read more
