# Vision Correction, LASIK & PRK In San Diego, CA
## What Is Vision Correction?
Vision correction includes a number of procedures that can be performed to enhance a patient’s eyesight. With today’s medical advances, vision correction procedures are completely safe, and can produce life-changing results. Typical vision correction procedures address the shape of the cornea, as poor vision is often a result of the cornea’s inability to refract light properly. When corrected, patients will achieve improved vision, often in the form of 20/20 vision. At American Eye Associates, we specialize in numerous vision correction techniques to help patients restore their vision.
