Could you tell me what are refractive technologies for eye patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are many: Types of refractive surgical options available to decrease the dependence on glasses or contacts. They can be broadly broken into corneal (such as lasik) and intraocular-based (such as refractive lens exchange) procedures. They all have the pros and cons. You should speak to your ophthalmologist to decide which may be the best for you.
