látásjavítás

Látásjavítás refers to the various methods and procedures used to correct or improve human vision. These interventions aim to address refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, as well as other conditions that impair sight. The most common methods fall into two broad categories: optical correction and surgical correction.

Optical correction typically involves the use of external devices. Eyeglasses, with lenses precisely shaped to refract light onto the retina correctly, have been a long-standing solution. Contact lenses, which are worn directly on the surface of the eye, offer another discreet and effective option for correcting refractive errors. Both eyeglasses and contact lenses come in a wide range of prescriptions and designs to suit individual needs.

Surgical correction offers more permanent solutions for vision improvement. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is another laser surgery that removes a thin layer of corneal tissue. Other surgical procedures include refractive lens exchange, where the natural lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens, and phakic intraocular lens implantation, where a lens is inserted into the eye without removing the natural lens.

The choice of látásjavítás method depends on various factors, including the type and severity of the vision problem, the individual's overall eye health, age, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Consultation with an ophthalmologist or optometrist is crucial to determine the most suitable and safe option for restoring clear vision.
