Optical aids for sight can be either hand-held or clip-on devices. They are used to improve visual perception by changing lighting, contrast, and spatial relationships.

Magnify

They can magnify objects within their field of vision and reduce glare. In addition, they require specialized training in order to use them effectively.

Cornea

The cornea is the clear front part of the eye and its job is to bend light to reach the retina and be translated into visual information.

Surgery

The surgery can also be done on people who have presbyopia, a condition that affects the ability to focus on objects close to you. This can make it difficult to read small print or perform close-up tasks. People who have this condition can compensate by having nearsightedness, but LASIK surgery can eliminate this.

LASIK is a two-step procedure that uses advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea. It can correct a variety of refractive errors, including astigmatism and nearsightedness.

Although most people recover well from LASIK surgery, it is important to be patient and follow the doctor's advice. Some patients experience temporary visual disturbances, but this should be minor and will not affect daily activities.
