The image is therefore out of focus on the retina and vision is blurred. Lasik for Astigmatism With astigmatism, an abnormal curvature of the cornea in one direction causes light travelling in one plane, the horizontal (blue) plane in this case, to be focused in front of the retina. Lasik for Hyperopia With hyperopia the eye is shorter (or cornea is flatter) causing the focal point of light to be behind the retina.

Lasik for Myopia
With Nearsightedness the eye is longer (or cornea is steeper) causing light to focus in front of the retina. The image is therefore out of focus on the retina and vision is blurred.

Lasik for Astigmatism
With astigmatism, an abnormal curvature of the cornea in one direction causes light travelling in one plane, the horizontal (blue) plane in this case, to be focused in front of the retina.

Lasik for Hyperopia
With hyperopia the eye is shorter (or cornea is flatter) causing the focal point of light to be behind the retina. The image is therefore out of focus on the retina and vision is blurred.

Refractive Lens Exchange

Multifocal Intraocular lenses

Cataracts
With a cataract, the lens is cloudy, causing the image to become blurred and yellowed. Vision is hazy and colors become faded.

After Cataracts
In some patients after cataract surgery, the membrane or "envelope" into which the intraocular lens is placed will become cloudy over time. This cloudy membrane is called an "after cataract" or posterior capsular opacification.

Corneal Transplants
Due to injury or disease, the cornea may become damaged and opaque. Light may no longer effectively pass through the damaged cornea resulting in diminished vision.
