When I mean eye correcting surgery, I’m talking about things like laser eye surgery that fix your vision. I mean, I think laser eye surgery works by slicing tiny pieces of the cornea in order to change the shape of the lens into a shape that correctly reflects the light. But how would the surgeon know how much to cut off? Also, if your eyes can degrade to the point at which you become legally blind, then how come legally blind people don’t get vision correcting surgery?

TUESDAYSUX asked:


I had lasik vision correction 3 weeks ago. I had to go & buy reading glasses to see far & near. Some days I don’t even need them but 4 out of 5 times I need them by the end of each day & my eyes are exhausted. The surgeon has done 10’s of thousands of the surgeries & has a 0% re-do rate. He has done a family members eyes with no issues. has anyone else had issues? I can’t imagine going through this surgery & still having bad vision.
oh & do you think it will hurt for me to be wearing the glasses while my eyes are healing?

Wolf asked:


I’m scheduled for laser eye surgery, but I saw a disclaimer saying that you couldn’t do military or some law enforcement if you’ve had laser eye surgery, does anyone know what all the rules on this actually are? I checked the navy site and couldn’t find anything, I may have overlooked it though. I’m specifically concerned with navy, not so much other fields though I guess if you know them you can tell for them too.

Ashweeee. :L asked:


I’m 14 and my parents are willing to let me get lasik - since I don’t want to wear glasses and struggle significantly with contacts.

If I got the surgery now, will I always have good sight?
