I just had Lasik vision correction two weeks ago. It is a very amazing thing. You can go to the website to find out more info but basically they cut your cornea and reshape it to improve your vision. It is very safe and afforable. I would highly recommend it.

Lasik eye surgery helps cure astigmatism by reshaping the cornea.\n\nI just had it about a month ago, very amazing stuff.

I've been wearing glasses for about seven years now, I'm 18, and honestly I don't give a rats ass about what people think. I think that glasses are becoming in style now and you shouldn't be ashamed of wearing them if you need them. Though, not that I care about what others think, I'm trying to heal my eyesight the natural way, as laser eye surgery is not always a fool proof solution and is so expensive. I am going to use the Bates method to try and heal my eyesight, as I don't like relying on glasses to see, I want to be able to see clearly using my own eyes again. I want to wear sunglasses. I don't want to be restricted to not playing certain sports. For these personal reasons, I don't like wearing glasses, as they are crutches. I recommend you watch a DVD called "Yoga For Your Eyes" by Meir Schneider if you are interested in healing your eyes. Schneider was born legally blind and healed his eyes and is now able to legally drive without glasses. Good luck :)

First and foremost: DO YOUR RESEARCH ON DOCTORS PERFORMING IT IN YOUR AREA.  Talk to people who have had it done. It is considered a relatively simple procedure with great success.  Of course, like with every surgery there can always be some risk.  This one is pretty low.  They have it pretty much mastered now.  20/20 for 5 years after my Lasik!  I have ZERO regrets!

Consider laser vision correction or contact lenses

A friend of mine had surgery on his lazy eye and it was  quite an improvement.  You wouldn't even now that he had had one if he didn't point it out to you.\nGood Luck

Not at all.  Most eye surgery is done under a "local" anesthetic, so the patient is not unconscious during surgery.  I know that sounds yucky, but first the patient is tranquilized, so even though he/she is "awake", the patient is very "relaxed". The eye is clamped open, (yes, just like in the horror movies), a local anesthetic is applied to the eye and surgery begins....but...no pain at all, and usually absolutely no memory of the procedure. \n\nMy guess is you are having cataract surgery?  Truly, it is a piece of cake, an in office procedure most of the time, and absolutely no pain.\n\nGood Luck!\n\n"I'm not a physician, but I play one on TV."

Flying used to require 20/20 vision, but that has evolved as corrective vision has improved. The most recent changes, which took effect in Sept. of 1996 (see Part 67 of the Federal Air Regulations), require distant vision of 20/20 corrected or uncorrected and near vision of 20/40 or better corrected or uncorrected. Individual companies are still free to set their own standards and they vary across the board.\n\nRegarding corrective surgery there are primarily two types: Refractive Keratotomy (RK) & Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK). RK is easily detectable by the airlines and generally not liked (see SPN's Medical article - they give a nice summary of the procedures). LASIK is too new to say definitively what the airlines or other pilot employers think about it. \n\nTo sum up, don't let your vision deter you. If you're correctable to 20/20, go for it!

use contact lens,I don't think there's any other way.

No. You have to be fully grown to have any eye procedure done. I had RK, & wouln't recomend it. The lazer type is much better. Also they are comming up with newer options. Just wait! In the mean time get contact lenses.

The only proven ways to do this is by laser refractive surgery (LASIK) and orthokeratology (ortho-K).  LASIK uses a laser to reshape the front of the eye (the cornea).  Ortho-K uses gas permeable contact lenses to temporarily flatten the cornea.  Contrary to popular belief, vitamin A and other supplements will not help you with this.  You really should discuss your concerns with your eye doctor.  He/she can recommend options that will work for your eyes.

there is no treatment.  it is debris in your eye.  no drop or injection, ointment or pill will take them away.  to get them out a doctor can go into the vitreous of your eye and try to snag them out in the mean time you will loose all the vision in your eye.  its kinda like fishing for a piece of hair in a bowl of jello.  realize how small this thing is and how much damage to your vitreous can be done if  any one would attempt to take it out. this is y they tell you it cant be done.  its not worth it.  they wont hurt you

Well the answer is YES.  I just wonder what type of eye surgery you are having?  Cataract surgery is always done on one eye at a time.  LASIK or corrective laser surgery is usually done on both eyes at the same time, but often we only do one eye.  A lot of people have different prescriptions in each eye.  It is not uncommon to do a monovision-type of procedure so that one eye sees for distance while the other sees for near.  Also, in regards to the cost, I would think that you could make a deal with the facility in which if you pay up front for both eyes and only have one eye done at a time, you could still get the discounted price.  (just my thinking).  Good luck!!!!

I work for a LASIK and cataract surgeon so I feel I can give you some advise.  \n\nThe majority of complications associated with LASIK surgery involve the process of making the flap on the cornea.  In LASIK there are two main methods for making the flap.  One is with a devise called a microkeratome, which is basically a blade that is used to cut a flap in the cornea. The other devise is a femtosecond laser called Intralase that is used to make a flap.\n\nIt is proven that the Intralase system greatly reduses the accuracy of making the flap and the chances of any significant complications with the surgery.\n\nSo the main thing that I would recommend is going with a doctor that uses Intralase rather then a microkeratome.  You should be able to find a doctor doing this in most major metropolitan areas.\n\nAnd also don't settle for the bargain basement LASIK centers.  In life, you get what you pay for.  And do you really want to buy a surgery that's on sale?\n\nWell good luck on your decision.  LASIK is definately not for everyone, but it is amazing for those that qualify for it!

There are ultrsonic surgical scalpels, they are being used today in some cases.\n\nIn some applications studies suggest they are superior to all other current techniques.

Lasik is the way to go. All the other "natural Methods" may improve the sight while you do the exercises but once you quit, it goes back to how it was before. See your local Ophthalmologist.
