Laser sursery for nearsightedness does not quarantee that you will not have to wear glasses agin??
Answers: I doubt lasix has a life time guarantee. Since it is a new procedure, the long term affects are not really known. People getting it now are guinea pigs......
Correct. The body is always growing and changing.
Also, laser surgery doesn't guarantee that won't need to wear glasses immediately after the surgery. Since it is surgery, there are risks. As such, it is entirely possible that best visual acuity (even with glasses) may even be worse than before the surgery.
A lot of people grasp the upside and minimize the risks (and don't even read the disclaimers). Your question indicates that you are paying attention!
Right, but it does ensure that your vision is much sharper and that you won't need glasses until your 50s or 60s, which would still only be needed for reading mostly. It's a great procedure - my husband had it done and loves it. His vision was like 20/200 before and now it's 20/10.
Not guaranteed at all.
The eyes may change in the years after the operation, to the degree they would have done anyway.
After 45 years of age, reading glasses are very likely to be required even if the distance vision is excellent.
And the surgery consent form will normally point out that glasses-free distance vision is not assured: just an aimed-for and likely outcome:
Under or Over Correction: The treatment of your refractive error (glasses prescription) is designed to completely neutralize your need for glasses (unless otherwise discussed with your surgeon). This treatment is aimed at the average eye. If your individual healing response varies from the average, you may be over or under corrected. Usually this can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or additional surgery. In some instances, this may be permanent and not amenable to surgery because of structural stability issues or the presence of an irregular corneal surface.
See the full form below. Though many of the problems it lists are very rare, the risk of them needs to be accepted when opting to try for the known benefits.
Yes.
Yes, the eyes is forever change. And it is just how much it changes. As a person aged, the changes will be reduced. Thus lasik is more suitable for people older than 21. Having said that, lasik does help to reduced the using of contacts and spect for people who have higher degree. Thus remove the problem of the eye health from wearing contacts for a long time. Also after the age of 40, we sure have to use spect for reading.
You can't stop the body degenerating. Even if laser surgery corrects a current condition, your eyes will eventually change over time again.
That's true. I'm nearsighted and in my late 40s. I have not needed reading glasses. I make do with my regular single lens glasses and take them off when I want to read or look at something close up. If I had laser surgery, I would need reading glasses. To me, it's not worth it. Maybe if I were about 25 years younger, I would consider it but not now.
