Different kinds of surgery are available to correct myopia too
, though these are more expensive and intrusive. For example, laser refractive surgery has become more popular. Here, tissue is removed from the cornea, flattening it and so helping the eye to focus light. Another option is intraocular lens insertion. Here, an artificial lens is inserted in front of your own. However, this is a relatively new treatment and it is generally recommended for those unable to wear glasses or with severe myopia.
