LASIK/Refractive Surgery - The cornea is a part of the eye that helps focus light to create an image on the retina. It works in much the same way that the lens of a camera focuses light to create an image on film. The bending and focusing of light is also known as refraction. Usually the shape of the cornea and the eye are not perfect and the image on the retina is out-of-focus (blurred) or distorted. These imperfections in the focusing power of the eye are called refractive errors. There are three primary types of refractive errors: myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Persons with myopia, or nearsightedness, have more difficulty seeing distant objects as clearly as near objects.  Persons with hyperopia, or farsightedness,  have more difficulty seeing near objects as clearly as distant objects.  Astigmatism is a distortion of the image on the retina caused by irregularities in the cornea or lens of the eye. Combinations of myopia and astigmatism or hyperopia and astigmatism are common. Glasses or contact lenses are designed to compensate for the eye's imperfections. Surgical procedures aimed at improving the focusing power of the eye are called refractive surgery. In LASIK surgery, precise and controlled removal of corneal tissue by a special laser reshapes the cornea changing its focusing power.

Gentle Vision Shaping System - Gentle Vision Shaping System (GVSS), (also known as orthokeratology, ortho-k, corneal refractive therapy, corneal molding, overnight vision correction and gentle corneal shaping) is a therapy which uses specialty retainer contact lenses to gently reshape the cornea of the eye overnight while sleeping, thus eliminating the dependence upon glasses or contact lenses during the day. This procedure is very similar to the way a person’s teeth/ bite are gently aligned with the use of braces.
