Anatomy: (Click on the picture to see full size)


The optical system of the eye consists of the cornea and the lens. These act in concert to focus light rays on the retina, which acts much like the film in a camera to transmit images to the brain.

All vision correction procedures act by either changing the shape of the cornea or by replacing or enhancing the internal lens of the eye. Laser vision correction procedures alter the shape of the cornea.
