In a normal eye, the path of light rays is modified by the cornea and the lens so that they converge on the retina.
In a myopic eye, which is too long, light rays focus in front of the retina. In a hyperopic eye, which is too short, light rays focus behind the retina.
An astigmatic eye presents abnormalities in the curvature of the cornea.
The different correction methods (glasses, contact lenses, and refractive surgery techniques) aim to modify the path of light rays.
Several surgical techniques may be offered.
