Laser Sight
Can laser eye surgery prolong my short sight?
I am short sighted and wondered if laser surgery can prolong my sight?
I have very badly short-sighted (getting worse) and wondered if some laser surgery will extend the number of years I can see?
I understand that I will be able to see without glasses, but will it mean that I lose my sight at the same aye if I hadn’t had it done?
Laser surgery can fix nearsightedness, but you will need to go to one of the places that does it and get evaluated as to your suitability for the procedure. Most of the places will do the evaluation for free. Not everybody is suitable for this operation. If you decide to do it, check out the place where you are getting it done very carefully in reference to the sucess rate for their procedures, this is not the time to go with the low bidder ! You are only paying for it once, but you will be living with the results forever!
Added:
You mentioned you were extremely nearsighted and it is still getting worse. The maximum amount of nearsightedness the operation can fix is about 8-9 diopters (depending on the thickness of your corneas). The reason they can’t do more than that is, the higher the amount of nearsightedness, the more of your corneas they will have to be blasting away with lasers and they would become too thin to work properly. If your prescription is higher than about -8, they could still do it, but you would still need glasses or contacts for the remainder of the nearsightedness that they couldn’t fix. Because the procedure is quite expensive, you might want to consider whether it is even worth it, if you would still need to wear glasses afterwards. Also, if your vision is still getting worse, they won’t want to do laser surgery until it is stabilized. There are some other procedures available where they surgically insert various kinds of lenses into your eyes. They can fix higher degrees of myopia than laser surgery, so you might want to investigate them.
You seem to be worried that you are going blind. Usually, you won’t go blind from nearsightedness, although if it gets real bad, you might wind up having to wear real thick glasses. However, there is another condition called malignant myopia, which is not very common, but can lead to detachment of the retina and other problems including blindness. I don’t think laser surgery will do anything to prevent this condition from getting worse, but there may be other treatments available, so check with your eye doctor.
