wich is best to get laser eye surgery glasses or contacts?

Question

i wanna get laser eye surgery but im afraid some thing will go wrong.

Answer 1

I got my first pair of spectacles when i was 13 years ago then wore contact lenses when i got older. The crappy thing with contact lenses is that they sometimes get dry quickly (especially when the a/c is on).

Last year i went for laser eye surgery last year and it was, to date, the best money i've ever spent.

Find a reputable doctor (it's so important to get references). Go for the necessary tests before committing to it and understand all the risks. Yes, there are risks, but it'll be completely up to you if you want to accept them.

When i went for my tests, they did a scan of my eyes to get it' topography readings. As it turned out, my cornea was too thin for the Lasic procedure (the most common practice thesedays). I had to wait about a month while my doctor consulted his colleagues on whether he could still do the procedure.

Lasic wasn't an option for me, but after my doc did a lot of communication with other doctors, he found that an older technique called PRK was a viable option. He found out about patients with similar cornea conditions who underwent that procedure, how they were doing 3 months after the surgery, 1 year after the surgery, etc.

I took the plunge in July 2005 and haven't regretted it in the least. The fact that you have to accept is that the results will not last forever; they do not prevent the natural aging process. I fully accept that my eyes will get weaker again in about 15 years, but i'm fine with it cos i'll just go for surgery again, haha. Lasic and PRK are slightly different technique and the recovery times differ, but at the end of the day, the risks and results are the same.

LASIC
They cut open a section of your cornea, use the laser, close it up again. Recovery time is something like 24 hours.

PRK
They scrape off the top layer of cells on your cornea and then use the laser. You then wear special contact lenses for 3 days while your cells grow back. Recovery time is longer than Lasic, but i was driving after 5 days.

Answer 2

My mother had that identical challenge and it particularly depends upon your imaginative and prescient. If your eyes are unhealthy however now not terrible I might move with lasrer in view that you may have a well danger of perfecting your eyes. If you're like my mother I might move with contacts in view that you by no means understand if Laser surgeny goes to paintings. There is different surgeneries or as an alternative of permantly planting contacts check out a few particularly great difficult contacts. Look for unique surgical procedures and the fine of good fortune!!!!!!

Answer 3

I think it's personal preference with all of them, but it's my opinion that laser surgery hasn't been around long enough to know if there are any long-term side effects. I would love to get it (who wouldn't want to toss their glasses and/or contacts?!), but I need to see how it goes for people years after they've had it done.... it's too new, in my opinion. Have fun! =)

Answer 4

I'm deathly frighten of eye surgery so it is not something that I would recommend. I believe contacts are the best, especially contact with a toric lens. Ask your doctor about it and you will be able to see better.
