I’ll be having LASEK (not LASIK) surgery in about a week. The doctor is giving me drops and medication and the like to promote healing, but i was also curious if there are any natural foods that i can eat before and during the recovery process that will give my body what it needs to repair my eye properly and quickly.

I’m 17 in a month and I’m considering having LASEK as soon as I’m of age, I’m quite adamant about having it done as soon as possible because my eyes need to be better than -1 diopters to pass a medical screening process for a job that I’m after. (Before motivation and the obvious questions come out, this is a job that I’m willing to give my left testicle for, and at that, for my entire life). However, I’m trying to explore the risks in having surgery performed before 21. As it stands, my eyes haven’t gotten worse in over 3 years.

I just wonderd if it would make a differnce if you have mitomycin-c apply at the end of the surgery as its meant to help prevent haze.

I can make out shapes and see where i’m going etc, but find it very difficult to read and concentrate on pictures and writing.

Hi

I went to Optical Express for a consultation and was quoted 3,000 for both eyes.
They suggested I should have Lasek treatment as my perscription is quite bad -8.50 in both eyes.
I just want to know if anyone has had laser eye surgery by Optical express and if they are any good?
or can anyone recommend any other companies that are really good?

Thanks
