Refractive Surgery & LASIK: Vision Without Glasses

If you’re ready to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, Ophthalmology Associates of San Antonio offers advanced refractive surgery options, including LASIK. Our specialists combine precision technology with personalized care to help you achieve clearer, sharper vision safely and effectively.

Understanding Refractive Errors

Refractive errors occur when the eye cannot properly focus light on the retina, resulting in blurred vision. Common refractive conditions include:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia)
  • Farsightedness (hyperopia)
  • Astigmatism
  • Presbyopia (age-related near vision changes)

While glasses and contact lenses correct vision temporarily, refractive surgery offers a long-term solution by reshaping the cornea to focus light correctly.

How LASIK Works

LASIK is a safe, outpatient procedure designed to improve vision with minimal discomfort and downtime. A thin flap is created on the cornea, and the underlying tissue is reshaped with a laser to correct vision. Recovery is typically rapid, with many patients seeing clearly within 24–48 hours.
