Fig. 1: Emmetropia In a normal eye (emmetropia), light rays from a distance focus through the cornea and lens of the eye on the retina.
Fig. 2: Myopia In a nearsighted (myopic) eye the rays focus in front of the retina.
Fig. 3: Hyperopia In a farsighted eye (hyperopic) light rays focus behind the retina.
Fig. 4: Astigmatism In an astigmatic eye, light rays focus at two different points and the astigmatism can be myopic, hyperopic, or mixed.

The two most common techniques are LASIK and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and both change the curvature of the cornea. To become better acquainted with Dr. Maguen be sure to familiarize yourself with his qualifications and accomplishments.
