Hi! I’m 18 years old, and I have been wearing glasses since I was 11. I hate it, so I’m planning to get corrective surgery. My left eye is -2.75 and my right eye is -4.25. My doctor said that I can get lasik when I’m 23. I am sorta willing to wait five years for lasik, but today, I came across “Collamer Lenses” which is something doctor puts in your eyes and your vision improves. If my eye doctor approves, I may get them soon. Should I get collamer lenses by next year or lasik 5 years later?
