Abstract
Laser vision correction is a simple and safe way to improve vision in cases of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. We analyzed differences of the existing laser vision correction technologies, their risks and side effects. The main objective of laser vision correction is to change corneal curvature in order to change its refractive power. Laser refractive
surgery is the most common method of eliminating need for glasses or contact lenses. The presented data was obtained from the analysis of scientific publications and by practical means.
