Can laser eye surgery correctmyopia aka near sightedness?
Can laser eye surgery correct myopia aka near sightedness? Does laser eye surgery last forever? What if you have big holes in your retina from myopia? Can laser eye surgery improve my myopia? Can myopic people have this laser surgery? Is there a risk for going blind from laser eye surgery? If you do go blind for laser eye surgery is it true that it can be corrected?
Since others have already answered your question I just want to point out that there are some eye exercises as alternative that can help myopia. I have a friend who used to suffer from myopia and he managed to improve his eyesight completely with eye exercises.
What are the chances of eyelaser surgery going bad?
My brother is 24 years old, and he really wants to get laser surgery. It costs about $400 CAN per eye. However, I've been hearing that it doesn't make sense since your eye sight at that age is still yet to worsen. Are there any links or experienced ppl that can give me advice to deter him from considering it? Thanks.
I had it done after going to a lot of different places and reading a lot about the procedure. There is different versions of the same procedure as well different procedures and different technology out there. I choose TLC in Toronto. They were much, much more expensive than $400 CND per eye but their technology was more advanced and was the best fit for my needs. Strong prescription (-7 per eye), astigmatism, large pupils, one pupil that is slightly large than the other due to a sports injury, I had a lot going on with my eyes that made it far from routine. Anyhow, for me the end result was amazing, life changing. I'm so glad I did it. I'd strongly recommend it for anybody who's eyes are bad enough to warrant the slight risk and expense. But you really do need to research who does it. Specifically about risk - In the lobby of TLC offices they had a book with all the stats. Chances of this, chances of that and the numbers were all really good. Everyone possible bad occurrence had really insignificant risk. It was always numbers like 1 in 100,000, 1 in 55,000 etc. and I also recall that each possible pitfall had TLC rate of complications beside it and in every case it was 0.
What is the youngest age EyeLaser Surgery can beperformed.?
My Daughter is 12 and wears glasses which she hates. We got her contact lenses but due to how bad her eyesight is she can only get yearly ones because of the strength of them. She has seen adverts on the television about Eye Laser Surgery but I am sure there is an age limit to when it can be performed does anyone know.
You have to be 18 for regular lasik and 21 for CustomVue. Sometimes, they can do it earlier at around 16 in special cases. For lasik you need to have a stable prescription for at least a year to be a candidate and most peoples eyes are done growing around 18. Give the lasik place a call to make sure. But, I doubt they will do it on a 12 yr old. There is some kind of lens that can be put in the eye like a permanent contact too....but I'm not really sure about the age for that, or what it's called. Good Luck!
