Question
My prescription is as follows: -6.00 -1.50 180 / -5.75 -1.50 180, I am 27 years old and I currently wear contact lenses, is it advisable for me to undergo lasik surgery? and what are the cons after the surgery? please advise, thank you.Answer
Like any cosmetic procedure you are the one to make that decision. Like any surgery there is some risk, which although rare did happened in the past. Now we consider that lasik is quite safe, in fact when lasik is performed well on a good candidate, it would appear to be safer than contacts. See on Google: "lasik surpasses contacts in safety".- can I go blind?
- Is it better to do one eye at a time (wait until one heals first before doing another eye) instead of having the lasik surgery for both eyes at the same time? Thank you.
- Good Morning, I've had Lasek performed one month ago at a laser center in Manhattan. My right eye began to experience ghosting last week. Can you tell me the cause of this? Should this go away gradually over the next few months? Thanks.
- If you had to compare PRK with LASIK, which has the best safety record?
- My vision is -6.00 (right) and -6.50 (right) eye. Is my vision too far gone to see 20/20 again? Will surgery even correct such poor vision?
- I wear glasses for nearsightedness and lately must take them off to read as well. Can both problems be corrected with one laser surgery?
- If my prescription is +6.00 can I wear contact lenses with +6.50 Thanks
- can i wear contacts up to the time of eye surgery
- Are you currently using the Eye-Q laser to treat eyes? If not, when to you expect the use the Eye-Q on patients? Thank you.
