Lasik is a wonderful vision correction surgery providing you are an ideal candidate. Individuals who are not ideal candidates should stay away for Lasik. Other possible option could be PRK, LASEK and intra-ocular contact Len providing you meet the criteria for these surgeries. Your doctor can best guide you.
the quality of your scans is not good so i can't really interpret them well over the internetbut in general, whenever someone says "you can't get LASIK" you must realize that there is a 90% chance that you can get PRK (which will HURT) or LASEK (which will not, but take 2-3 days more to recover than LASIK) or epiLASEK (which has a recovery of only 1-2 days more than LASIK)

As you know, marijuana can lower the pressure within the eyes. Temporarily stopping marijuana might cause the pressure in the eyes to rise a little bit, which can affect the results a little bit. However, when you resume marijuana, and your eye pressure returns to its normal level, the eyes will...
Thanks for your question. There can be several explanations for nighttime vision issues that occur even years after Lasik. 3 common explanation include: residual refractive error, dry eye disease, and higher order aberrations that impact vision when the pupil dilates in the dark. A full vi...
