My doctor wouldn’t issue an Rx for contacts for me because the Rx would be too complex for contacts. He said that the effectiveness of them would be much lower than glasses because of this Rx. Also, I cannot get Laser surgery because of the astigmatism. Does this mean I am stuck in glasses for life?
And is it safe compared to lasik?
can laser eye surgery fix a strong astigmasism (like mine) and how old do you have to be to get it. does it COMPLETELY (or at least 50%) cure bad vision? I have had it since I Was baby (I was a premature baby) and some things they did to help me breath apparently hurt my vision. its gotten worse over the years And I was wondering if It can permanently cure me of this. (meaning my vision if repaired does not eventually revert to how it previously was)
Thanks
Also My hospital (kaiser) are ALLWAYS reluctant to doing any kind of surgery (or anything critial for that matter) unless your literally dying of it what can I do to convince them (once I’m old enough to get it)
I have astigmatism in both my eyes and my optician said I wont be able to ever wear contacts or get surgery, however i have seen on T.V a few times people with my condition having minor laser surgery then being able to wear contacts, i’m only asking because i have been bullied my whole life for wearing glasses an now i’m 18 I don’t feel confident wearing them and i’m worried my eye sight will get worse because of my vanity.
I’m 17 and I have it, and was planning on getting surgery in the future (like when I turn 25)..but I heard Lasik doesn’t correct astigmatism
