How is Myopia Treated?
Myopia can be treated with LASIK, ASA, lens implants, or general ophthalmology services, including glasses and contact lenses. At our Austin practice, laser vision correction with LASIK or ASA is the most popular choice for patients with myopia who seek to eliminate or reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. During laser vision correction with LASIK or ASA, the refractive surgeon uses an excimer laser to “flatten” the cornea, thereby reducing curvature. This allows light from distant objects to focus directly on the retina, sending clear and precise images to the brain.
