Lasik Operation Risks
Will you go for Lasik Operation?
Or be content in wearing contact lens or spectacles all your life?
They say Lasik doesn’t suit all people, so you gotta take risk.
It depends on how bad your eyesight is. If you’re eyesight is just a little to moderately bad then you’re probably better off with the surgery. When you get into the higher levels of myopia the surgery my not correct your sight 100%.
I hate wearing contacts but I’m one of those they can’t guarantee my sight will be corrected 100%. I won’t get it done unless I won’t have to wear contact again.
Whatever you decide…make sure you get a good doctor who has lots of experience with the procedure. A friend of mine had to have a second operation to correct the mistakes from the first.

I’ve done quite a bit of research on this. The proceedure is not permanent and you will most likely need to do it again later on in life. It also needs to be considered that this proceedure does not help if you need bifocals, etc. You’ll still need to wear glasses for that. I’m 35 and I have very bad eye sight and still haven’t convinced myself to get this done for the sheer fact that at some point I will need glasses again and it’s not worth the $…

you can BUT my granddad had laser surgery at the age of 70 something but you’ll need to see the surgeron for a consultant to see whether or not its possible it can be done to you.

I wear night & day contacts. You put them in once a month and never worry about them until the next month. May buy you some time to get a little older before surgery. The longer you wait the better the technology gets.
