	Laser Eye Surgery: Is It Worth Looking Into?
		Goldstein underwent refractive eye surgery, an elective procedure intended to correct common eye disorders, known as refractive errors, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (distorted vision).
		Before the procedure begins, the patient's eye is measured to determine the degree of visual problem, and a map of the eye's surface is constructed.
		For the eye to see, light rays must be bent or "refracted" to meet at a single point through the cornea, the clear window at the front of the eye that provides most of the focusing power.

	Eye surgery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eye surgery, also known as ophthalmic surgery or ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa, typically by an ophthalmologist.
		A cataract is an opacification or cloudiness of the eye's crystalline lens due to aging, disease, or trauma that typically prevents light from forming a clear image on the retina.
		A canthorrhaphy is suturing of the outer canthus to shorten the palpebral fissure.

	Surgery - LASIK eye surgery - Detroit, Michigan
		For clear vision, the eye´s cornea and lens must bend (refract) light rays properly, so that images are focused on the retina.
		LASIK eye surgery is performed most often on people who have myopia (nearsightedness), which means that they only clearly see nearby objects; anything far away is blurry.
		An eye shield or patch will be placed over the eye to protect the flap and to help prevent rubbing or pressure on the eye until it has had enough time to heal.

	Scleral buckling surgery for retinal detachment
		A scleral buckle is produced by a piece of silicone sponge, rubber, or semi-hard plastic that your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) places on the outer layer of the eye (the sclera, or the white of the eye).
		Before the surgery, your eye doctor may patch both of your eyes and have you stay in bed to keep the detachment from spreading.
		Cataracts may form after surgery, although they are less common with scleral buckling than with pneumatic retinopexy or vitrectomy, the other types of surgery used to treat retinal detachments.

		Before the surgery, your surgeon should explain to you the risks and possible complications, and potential side effects, including the pros and cons of having one or both eyes done on the same day.
		If you qualify for surgery, your doctor may tell you to stop wearing your contact lenses for a while before the surgery is scheduled because contacts can temporarily change the shape of the cornea.

	LASIK Eye Surgery Risks, Advantages, Disadvantages, Facts, History and Complications on MedicineNet.com
		In the human eye, the front surface (cornea) and lens inside the eye form the eye's "focusing system" and are primarily responsible for focusing incoming light rays onto the surface of the retina, much like the lenses of a camera focus light onto the film.
		Hyperopia (farsightedness): In people with hyperopia, the mismatch in focusing power and eye length causes near objects to be blurry and distant objects to be relatively clearer.
		Glasses or contact lenses are used to compensate for the eye's refractive error by bending light rays in a way that complements the eye's specific refractive error.

		However, as the number of surgeries performed by a single surgeon climbs much beyond this, it becomes necessary to delegate much of the clinical care to assistants who may or may not be as skilled and experienced as the treating surgeon.
