Refractive errors occur because of the shape of the eye.  **Refractive surgery** is a category of surgical procedures designed to correct **refractive errors**, which occur when the eye does not bend (or "refract") light correctly, resulting in blurred vision. Common refractive errors include **myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism**, and **presbyopia**. ![group of students talking-2](https://blog.keillasik.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/group%20of%20students%20talking-2.jpeg?width=435&height=435&name=group%20of%20students%20talking-2.jpeg) There are several types of vision correction surgeries used to address these issues, including: - **LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)** – reshapes the cornea using a laser to improve how light is focused on the retina. - **PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)** – similar to LASIK, but involves removing the outer layer (the epithelium) of the cornea before reshaping it with a laser. - **RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange)** – replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), often used for people with presbyopia,  severe farsightedness, or severe nearsightedness. - **EVO ICL (EVO Visian Implantable Collamer Lens)** – involves implanting a lens inside the eye without removing the natural lens, suitable for people with thin corneas or high myopia. Despite the differences in technique, all these procedures share a common goal: **to eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses** by improving how light is focused onto the retina.
