[Psych3120] Laser Eye Surgery

[Corey Raemer]

I recall and article which was featured in the Salt Lake Tribune quite a
few # of months ago.  There was research which was done on the eyesight
of older individuals.  What they found was that even though we keep on
increasing eye glass prescriptions to correct vision what actually is
happening is as we age our visual cortex loses its ability to translate
the images.  It was interesting because it showed that the problem
wasn't always our eye sight, it was our visual cortex's ability to
interpret what our eyes are seeing.
