Eye corrective surgery (Lasik, Lasek, PRK)?
I have several questions about it. First of all i did some looking around and i think my eye sight is about 20/350 or so. This is based off the prescription of my contacts. can anyone confirm or correct it?
This is how it looks on the package
8.6/14.4
-3.75 -1.75 x030
I am near sighted and have an astigmatism
My second question is what is the safest type of surgery out there. I would rather do a surgery where it would take longer to heal/more pain present and have my eyes in better health that could be corrected if need be. And i am not really aiming for 20/20, more along the lines of 20/40. I keep hearing about different stuff like this new no-touch lasek or something.
I wouldn’t mind still having to wear glasses for reading. Its just what i do in the rest of my day that would make no glasses alot more convenient.
Any help is appreciated

I had LASIK about a month ago and very happy with it. Since everybody’s eyes are different, you should go for a free consultation or two. They will look at your eyes and tell you what methods are available to you, what is the cost and what you can except in the way of results. The place I went to guaranteed me 20/20 vision or my money back

i think the one i had was the lasek it was the cheaper one
i was worryed that it would hurt because its not a lazer that
mack es the flap.
but it was very painless an i had little discomfort after.
two years on i still have 20/20.
i cant remember what my prescription was i needed glasses for driving
and stuff. it was the best £600 pound i ever spent.

You are moderately short-sighted according to your power. I am not certain what 20/350 mean, probably 20/30? Of course I aim for 20/20 or better at 20/15 if at all possible. There are several procedures available, each being more suitable depending on individual. You need to have your eyes thoroughly accessed to be sure. Please visit my website /come to my practice for screening. I will attend to you personally, to explain if you are suited for.

I would suggest you for LASIK surgery. LASIK eye surgery is a medical procedure that can correct your vision by altering the physical properties of your eye. Unlike traditional surgical procedures that depend upon the skills and steadiness of the surgeon’s hand, advanced LASIK eye surgery is computer controlled.
Before you commit to LASIK surgery, make sure that you consider all the advantages and disadvantages of having the procedure. Ask the doctor lots of questions so that you can make an informed decision about whether LASIK eye surgery is the right choice for you.
