LASIK, a form of refractive surgery, is an option for vision correction without needing to wear glasses or contact lenses. Simply put, LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser.

Recently, other surgical alternatives have become available. Among these is a technique called phakic IOL implantation. This involves implanting a lens behind the cornea and in front of the iris. With this new option, many of those who were too highly near-sighted for LASIK are now candidates for refractive surgery.
