I got LASIK surgery more than 8 years ago, but I had astigmatism but by then the surgery didn’t fix it. I still need contact and my optician suggest a retouch LASIK, but I need to save money (I rather do it cash) to do it. I’ve tried soft contct lenses but I can’t read or see well and my optician said is because the new shape of my eye after the LASIK surgery. So, I think that gas-permeable contacts might solve the problem. What do you know?
I don’t think that the gas permable are going to solve the problem any better than the soft. As the soft will cover the whole eye and give you better perifial vision. Personally i like the gas permable better as they were the first I had used and were easy to get in and out. I have had the surgery for the astigmatism. if fixed it some, but my eye sight seems to be worse. To be honest with you I would wear glasses for a little bit until you feel more sure of your answer. So you answered my question I am still not sure lasik is a good surgery right now.
Check with your eye doctor
You need to talk to your opthomologist (eye MD) not optician about all of this.
Ask your doctor about AK, it is a simple procedure to correct only astigmatism. Do you wear glasses or contacts? If you are happy with them and your vision is 20/40 or better without correction, leave well enough alone and wait for better technology.
