When light rays pass from a medium of onedensity to a medium of a differentdensity they are refracted or bent. This principle is used intheeyeto focuslight onthe retina. Before reaching the retina light rays pass successivelythroughthe cornea, aqueous humor, lens and vitreous which are all more
densethanthe air. Emmetropia is thenormal optical condition oftheeye. Theeye is considered
to beemmetropic when incident parallel rays of light from infinity cometo afocus onthe retina with accommodation at rest. Anemmetropic eye will havea clear image ofdistant object without any internal adjustment of its optics.The average power of a normal emmetropic eye is +58 to + 60 D
The optical condition oftheeye in whichthe incident parallel rays of lightdo
not cometo a focus uponthe light sensitive layer ofthe retina, withaccommodation at rest is known as ametropia.
. In axial ametropia, theeyeball length is either too long (myopia) or too short(hyperopia). In refractive ametropia, thetotal power oftheeye is either toogreat (myopia) or too little (hyperopia) for the axial length oftheeyeball.

Inmyopia, the focus is in front ofthe retina, anddivergentrays from a near object cometo focus onthe retina. In suchaneye, if a point onthe retina is considered as the object,the image ofthat point will lie somewhere in front oftheeyebut closer than infinity, andthat is, by definition, the far pointofthateye. Its plane is the far point plane which is conjugateto the retina. The correcting lens that focuses parallel rays oflight atthat far point plane oftheeye must be a diverginglens.

MYOPIA
CORRECTION
Eye care professionals
most commonly correct
myopia through the use
of corrective lenses such
as glasses or contactlenses. It may also be
corrected by refractive
surgery, though there
are cases of associated
side effects. The
corrective lenses have anegative optical power
(i.e. are concave) which
compensates for the
excessive positive
diopters of the myopic
eye.

Inhyperopia, the focus is behindthe retina. The farpoint plane ofthehyperopic eye lies behindthe retina.The correcting lens must be a converging lens of such
power that parallel rays of light will focus atthe samedistance behindtheeye as the far point plane ofeye.Etiology ofhyperopia:

The curvature of the cornea or lens may vary in different meridians, thereby
producing astigmatism. Irregular astigmatism is usually the result of distortions in the
anterior corneal surface (scarring, ectasia, edema, ulcer). This is correctable with hardcontact lenses but not with glasses. In regular astigmatism the axes of greatest and
least refractive power are at right angles. It can be corrected with glasses.
Anisometropia is a difference in the refractive errors of the two eyes. It is commonly
said to be present if the difference in the refractive corrections is 2,00 D or more, eitherspherical or astigmatic.
Aniseikonia is a difference in the size or shape of the images from the two eyes, as
perceived by the visual cortex. The most common cause is the differential magnification
inherent in the spectacle correction of anisometropia, producing different-sized retinal
images.
Aphakia is a condition of the eye where lens has been removed, i .e. absence of
lens. It is a classical example of acquired high hyperopia.
Optical condition: the eye is hyperopic; there is loss of accommodation; the retinal
image is about 25% larger; astigmatism (against the rule). Signs: the anterior chamber is
deep; iridodonesis (tremulousness of iris); Purkinje 3rd and 4th images are absent; thepupil is jet black.

Presbyopia is gradual loss of accommodative response resulting from loss ofelasticity of lens capsule and lens substance. It becomes a clinical problem whenthe remaining accommodative amplitude is insufficient for the patientto carryouthis accustomed visual tasks. Symptoms of presbyopia usually begin after age40. Presbyopia is treated by prescribing suitable spherical lenses for near work..

Spherical lenses has equal curvature in all meridians. Convex (plus) lens is used in correction ofhyperopia, presbyopia, aphakia. Identification.Whenthe lens is moved in front oftheeye, the objects
move inthe oppositedirection. If an object is held closeto the lens, itappears to be magnified.
Concave (minus) lens is used in correction of myopia. Identification.Whenthe lens is moved in front oftheeye, the objects move inthe samedirection. An object seenthroughthe lens appears to bediminished insize.
Cylindrical lens. It is a segment of a cylinder of glass cut parallel to its axis.The axis of a cylindrical lens is parallel to that ofthe cylinder of which it ispart.
Identification. Two marks are seen onthe lens indicating the axis ofthelens.Whenthe lens is moved inthedirection ofthe axis, there is nomovement ofthe objects.Whenthe lens is moved in a direction at rightangles to the axis: convex cylinder the objects move inthe oppositedirection; concave cylinder the objects move inthe samedirection.

Contact lenses arethin, clear disks of plastic
that float onthe surface oftheeye. They
correct vision likeeyeglasses do and are safewhen used with care. Contact lenses are used
to correctthe same conditions thateyeglasses
do: myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia
(farsightedness), astigmatism(blurred vision
dueto the shape ofthe cornea) and
presbyopia (inability to see close up).

Dynamic refraction is a term usedto
distinguish active refraction (with
accommodation functioning) from staticrefraction (with accommodation paralyzed by
a cycloplegic). The refractive power oftheeye
is increased when accommodation is actively
exerted.

Eyesight correctionhas evolvedthe past few centuries.We started witheyeglasses, whichhave beentested by centuries of use, thendevelopedcontact lenses for a more fashionable look. Somedecades ago, a newform ofeyesight correction was developed. This involved surgery andthechange resulting from the operation is more permanentthan previoussolutions.
Several ways of performing eye surgery weredeveloped, butthe mostpopular of all is Lasik (short for Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis). Lasikuses lasers to changethe shape ofthe cornea (the front part oftheeyethatdoes most ofthe focusing for our eyes) to improve vision. However,several complaints came up after treatment so it became importanttocreatenew Lasik technologies to improve results and increase safety.
Inthe recenttimes the following procedures have been accepted by therefractive surgeons:
- radial keratotomy (RK); - photorefractive keratectomy (PRK); - Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK);

Refractive eye surgery is any eye surgery usedto improvethe
refractive state oftheeye anddecrease or eliminate
dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This can includevarious methods of surgical remodeling ofthe cornea or
cataract surgery. The most common methods today use
excimer lasers to reshape curvature ofthe cornea. Successful
refractiveeye surgery can reduce or cure common visiondisorders such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
Wave front technology:
Wave fronttechnology was developed intheearly 21st
century. It is usedto create a three-dimensional map ofthecornea. This improved Lasik becausethe surgical plans
developed from the maps are customized for each patients
eye.

Radial Keratotomy or RK and Photorefractive Keratectomy or PRK areother refractive surgeries usedto reshapethe cornea. In RK, a very sharpknife is usedto cut slits inthe cornea changing its shape. PRK was the firstsurgical proceduredevelopedto reshapethe cornea, by sculpting, using alaser. Later, LASIK was developed. The sametype of laser is used for LASIKand PRK. Oftentheexact same laser is used for thetwo types of surgery.The major difference betweenthetwo surgeries is the way thatthestroma, the middle layer ofthe cornea, is exposed before it is vaporizedwiththe laser. In PRK, thetop layer ofthe cornea, calledtheepithelium, isscraped away to exposethe stromal layer underneath. In LASIK, a flap iscut inthe stromal layer andthe flap is folded back.
Another type of refractive surgery is thermokeratoplasty in whichheat isusedto reshapethe cornea. The source oftheheat can be a laser, but it isa different kind of laser than is used for LASIK and PRK. Other refractivedevices include corneal ring segments that are inserted into the stromaand special contact lenses thattemporarily reshapethe cornea(orthokeratology).

Radial keratotomy (RK) is a refractive surgical procedureto correctmyopia.
In radial keratotomy (RK), incisions are made with a precisioncalibrateddiamond knife. Ithas been foundthat incisions that
penetrate only the superficial corneal stroma are less effectivethanthose reaching deep into the cornea, and consequently incisionsare made quitedeep. One study cites incisions madeto a depthequivalentto thethinnest of four corneal-thickness measurementsmadenear the centre ofthe cornea.Other sources cite surgeriesleaving 20 to 50 micrometers of corneal tissue unincised (roughlyequivalentto 90% of corneal depth based onthickness norms).
Accurate keratotomy is still popular to correct astigmatism. It isalso done with a diamond knife but inthese cases, cuts are madecircumferentially, parallel to theedge ofthe cornea.

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) andLaser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy (or Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis) (LASEK)are laser eye surgery procedures intendedto correct a person'svision, reducing dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Although PRK and LASEK basically usethe sametechnique, thereare minor differences betweenthem. In PRK, epithelium isremoved andthe outermost layer below theepithelium is treatedwith laser. In LASEK, epithelium is not removed, but an alcoholicsolution is usedto causetheepithelial cells to weaken; the surgeonwill foldtheepithelial layer out ofthe laser treatment field, andfold it back in its original place after cornea has been reshaped bylaser. Iftheepithelial flap is not strong enoughto be laid back in itsoriginal place, it will be removed, andthe LASEK procedurebecomes a PRK procedure

All-LaserLasik: Also called IntraLasik and produced by the IntraLase Corporation,
this new Lasik technology no longer needs to use a microkeratome(A microkeratome uses a bladeto createthe corneal flap, the first
step ofeye surgery). Instead a laser is usedto create bubbles inthecornea and a flap caneasily and precisely be lifted from the rest oftheeye.
All-Laser Lasik may bethe only option for those who hadnot,initially, been qualified for the surgery. Becausenew Lasiktechnology involves creating flaps with precisethickness, it allowspatients withthin corneas or large pupils to undergo thetreatment. Best of all it minimizes complications like buttonholeflaps (incomplete corneal flaps).

Lasik Vision Correction (a.k.a. Laser Eye Correction) is theeye surgery performed for correcting the myopia,hyperopia and astigmatism. This is an oldtechniquethathas been used since 1950's but ithas been very popularwiththe latest advancements inthe laser technology.
The Lasik Vision Correction is consisting ofthree phases.The patient's eye is immobilized and a flap is created usinga metal microkeratome. There is also a new techniqueknow as IntraLASIK in which a laser microkeratome is used
instead of a metal one. The flap is lifted and anexcimerlaser is appliedto the patient's cornea. This is the phasewhichthe patient's vision problems are corrected. Theexcimer laser remodels thetissue below the cornea andwhenthe process is finishedthe flap is closed.

Recovery After theeye laser surgery patients aretoldto keep their eyes away from
direct sunlight, avoid rubbing and keeping their eyes healthy to avoid anypost surgical complications. It's normal to have itchy eye for a few daysbut be surenotto rub your eyes. You will useeyedrops and antibiotics to
avoid infections for a few weeks.When you go back for check-up and yourbandages aretaken off, thedoctor examines your eyes and you will knowif you have clear vision or not.
The Lasik Vision Correction brings in lots of advantages and lots ofquestions within. The laser technology is improving every day andeachyear a new eye laser surgery techniqueemerges. The patients who waitmore can benefit from more advancedtechnology.
There are also lots of complications patients claim to suffer after the LasikVision Correction. The most common amongstthem is; seeing halosaround lights inthenight. This becomes a major problem whiledriving atnight. Also there are many patients who claim to have blurred vision afterthe surgery.

AdvancedControl Eye tracking (ACE) Technology: This was developed by Techno as Perfect Vision. The
Eyetracker locks onto specific details inthe iris. This
information allows lasers to automatically adjusttoeye movements during the surgery, to accuratelyreshapethe cornea according to the surgical planmade beforethe operation.
Based on a study of 2,000 Lasik cases, the use of ACEincreases the chance of curing astigmatism andreduces the chance of going back to the surgeon foranother operation.
