Simulations to demonstrate the visual disorders and their
corrections with LASIK
Good vision starts with the capture of sharp images on the retina of
the eye. If receiving light beams (images that we see) do not meet on
the retina itself, but either in front or behind, the image is represented
out of focus. This is considered a refraction error or ametropia, better
known as a visual disorder.
Another simulation explains, how LASIK surgery corrects the respective
visual disorder:
With myopia the laser is used centrally in order to decrease the refraction
power. On the other hand, with hyperopia the cornea peripheral is lasered
with the objective to increase the refractive power of the cornea.

After you have adjusted your visual disorder on the diopter scale,
the simulation guides you through the LASIK surgery and demonstrates
how the illustration ratios can be corrected with cornea reshaping.
