1. Nearsightedness
The most common vision problem among Americans is nearsightedness, also known as Myopia. This vision problem allows you to see up close but not far away. Most people with this common eye problem when trying to see far away, their vision will become blurry. Nearsightedness is most often found during school vision screenings, and is more than likely hereditary. However, nearsightedness can also be treated by having an eye laser procedure as well as wearing glasses or contact lenses.

2. Farsightedness
The opposite of nearsightedness is farsightedness. When you are farsighted, you will be able to see far away, but seeing anything up close will often be blurry. Farsightedness is also known as hyperopia, and can also be corrected with contact lenses or glasses. As well as having a surgical laser eye procedure done at the laser eye center to correct your vision.

3. Astigmatism
When you have an astigmatism, you are more than likely to have blurred vision wether it may be up close or far away. This is because when you have an astigmatism, your cornea is not shaped like the cornea from an eye without an astigmatism. Because of the misshaped cornea, your eye does not receive the amount of light that a normal eye would, and this causes your vision to be blurry. As well as causing your eyelids to swell on occasion. Astigmatism can be treated at the laser eye center with the use of eye glasses, contact lenses, or eye surgery procedures.

4. Presbyopia
Presbyopia is usually an eye condition that comes with age. The older you are, the more chance you have for getting presbyopia. When you have presbyopia, you have problems seeing up close. Often when you are reading, or trying to focus on something that is close to your face. You will also have problems when you have presbyopia and you try to switch from looking at something that may be close to your face, to trying to see something that is farther away. While reading glasses or contact lenses may usually correct presbyopia, you also have the option of corrective eye laser surgery at the laser eye center.

5. Monovision
When you have monovision, this means that you have the ability to focus on something far away with one eye, while at the same time you can you have the ability to focus on things that are close up with the other eye. Monovision in most cases will still allow you the ability to see, without being corrected. However, you can have monovision corrected by the use of contact lenses, as well as laser eye surgery at the laser eye center.

6. Dry eyes
If you have dry eyes, you are aware of how painful it can be. Often the itchiness and scratchy feeling is enough to make you have more discomfort than you want. However, there are a few things that the laser eye center can do for your dry eyes. However, if you have dry eyes, you may be in for a shock to know that your dry eyes must be treated, and is best to be cleared up, if possible, before undergoing eye laser surgery procedures. The reason for this is because when you have dry eyes, and you have laser surgery on your dry eyes, you are looking at more complications with the healing process.

As you can see, the laser eye center can treat most eye conditions. Always be sure to check out the company you are considering for treatment, and make sure that you get a reputable optometrist, or surgeon to perform your eye procedures.
