Natural birth after LASEK?

Mini555Dec 14, 2018
I would like to do LASEK for my eyes. I have been qualified only to this method as my cornea is 5.05 mm. My vision is -1.75 with astigmatism.I heard from my friend that after eye laser surgery I cannot have natural birth but just c-section. Is this true? I would like to have a baby and be pregnant after a year of the surgery. The doctor has not mentioned about delivery problems . I am so confused. I will appreciate if you can share your knowledge and opinion on that.

Mild variable blur is probably normal for this point in the healing. Anything more, or if you have redness or sensitivity to light, then you should see the surgeon.Best of luck to you.

Hi, it's hard to know exactly without all the details but if you are over 40, the surgery for nearsightedness is a trade of near vision for far away vision.Hopefully, you can bring these issues up with your surgeon.
