My left eye is -7.75 -50 x135 and my right eye is -8.00 can somebody tell me if lasik is right for me?
Technically, we can’t determine that on-line; you would need to go to one of the places that does it and have them look at your eyes and make an evaluation if you are a suitable candidate; (most places will do the evaluation for free).
Typically, you need to be about 20ish or older and have had stable vision for at least a year (they want to make sure that once they do the procedure, your vision won’t get worse and mess up the results). Your level of nearsightedness is pretty close to the limit of what they can correct for (the more correction they have to do, the more of your cornea they have to blast away with lasers, and they don’t want it to be too thin to function properly).
You really want to choose the place where you get this procedure done very carefully, to minimize the chance that something will go wrong.
LASIK eye surgery is a medical procedure that can correct your vision by altering the physical properties of your eye. Unlike traditional surgical procedures that depend upon the skills and steadiness of the surgeon’s hand, advanced LASIK eye surgery is computer controlled.
LASIK surgery is quick and painless, usually being performed on an out-patient basis. In most cases, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in vision and the procedure is virtually painless, taking only a few minutes to complete.
Research data gathered has shown that almost all LASIK patients have experienced vision improvement immediately after treatment and at least 40% of those patients were able to avoid the use of corrective lenses for ten years following the procedure. It’s normal for the eye to change shape as a normal part of the aging process, so retreatment is recommended if significant reshaping occurs after several years.
LASIK eye surgery can perform miracles – it can give you relief from wearing corrective lenses. It can cure nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness. The procedure is quick and painless, offering almost immediate results. And due to advances in technology and the wide demand for this type of service, LASIK is quite economical.
LASIK eye surgery is now so common that millions of people have decided that it was time to abandon their corrective lenses, once and for all. There are so many LASIK clinics that you’re likely to find one close by, no matter where you live.
Hence, it is best to opt for LASIK eye surgery to correct the vision.
You are an eligible candidate for LASIK if:
your power is constant for atleast one year.
your corneal thickness is in range which is measured.
you are not having any infectious focus in your eyes.
…..
a complete preLASIK checkup can only determine whether you are fit to undergo the surgery or not.Above mentioned things are the priority.
LASIK surgery is found to give magic results in people who have power ranging from -4 to -20D so i think you can get your pre test done and see whether you are fit.
All the best!
It all depends on your age, condition of the fundus and media, your nature of work, and the time taken for you to develop our present myopic power etc. The availability of the expert in the lisik surgery is also important. For all this you may have to consult your ophthalmologist for necessary advice and guidance.
However it appears that you may put up with planoconcave fibre lenses for your condition at present for some time.
I don’t know anything about optical prescriptions..but my sister had HORRIBLE eyesight…cokebottle glasses since she was 7…and 10 minutes after having the LASKIK surgery she could see the time on a small clock on the far wall in the exam room and no longer wears glasses of any kind…not even readers.
