Textbook Question
Chapter 40.6, Problem 1ET
Assume that you are an ophthalmologist. Sergei, a patient of yours, has been plagued by nearsightedness his whole life and is fed up with glasses and contacts. You suggest laser surgery on his corneas as a possible solution. Sergei asks you ‘How will reshaping my corneas fix my nearsightedness? Aren’t the lenses what focus light on the retina?’ Respond to his question.
