If you are above 18 years, and wish to remove your glasses, there are various refractive surgeries which can help you achieve spectacle independence. The most commonly performed procedure is called LASIK, which involves reshaping the cornea of your eye with the help of excimer laser. However, if you are not a suitable candidate for this procedure, there is another option: Insertion of a very thin lens called Phakic IOL inside your eye, which works in conjunction with your natural lens to help you see without glasses.
