Has anyone here had Lasik Eye Surgery?
I’m a blind bat without my glasses lol! I’m getting tired of wearing glasses and contact lenses are a pain in the @$$ to put in. So I was thinking about making an appointment next week with my optometrist to see if I’m a good candidate for lasik eye surgery.
LASIK eye surgery isn’t right for everyone. You need to meet certain requirements before submitting to LASIK eye surgery.
Here are a few of the guidelines used in determining if LASIK is a good choice for you -
* You should be over 18 years of age.
* Your corneas must be healthy.
* You should not have had a significant change in your lens prescription in the last 12 months.
* Women should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
* You should be in good general health.
If you are nearsighted, LASIK eye surgery can work for you.
Farsightedness was previously not treated with LASIK, since reshaping the cornea to focus on nearby objects came at the expense of losing the capability to focus on distant objects. However, a new procedure has been developed that enables people that are farsighted to benefit from LASIK eye surgery.
The end result is that you can now see both near and far in proper focus. In almost all cases, you’ll be able to say ‘Good Bye’ to those bothersome reading glasses!
