How does deterioration work after Lasik, Lasek, or PRK eye surgery?


junk doctor asked:


I’m wondering basically what the question asks!

right now i have 20/200 uncorrected – 20/20 corrected vision. I was wondering if I get one of the following eye surgeries, will my vision just deteriorate to the same degree at which it is now?

Thanks

How old should you be to get Lasik Eye surgery done?


its meee asked:


I am 20 years old. I’ve had glasses since i was about 16 or 17. I am seriously looking into Lasik eye surgery because i hate wearing my glasses ( i am near sighted)

Recently it seems as though my eyes have gotten worse. My glasses work fine when i have them on, but i’ve been noticing that when i dont wear them, its getting harder & harder to see things i once could.

Question is, how old are you supposed to be to get this done? If i get it done now, and say a year or two down the road it starts getting worse again do they do ‘free touch ups?’

Also, if anyone knows, how does sitting in front of a computer affect your eyes? I’m a writer, so i spend plenty of time in front of the screen.

Thanks!
Also, how do i find a Lasik eye specialist near me..and how do i know they are legit & safe?

What should I take into consideration when looking for a lasik eye surgeon?


gizmo asked:


If I want lasik surgery, how do I find the most reputable DR? Do insurance companies cover any of it? I’m trying to sort all this out, I’ve been considering it. I don’t want to pay too much, but I don’t want to pay to little at the expense of my eyes. What should I be looking for?

Is my spouse eligible to receive LASIK or PRK surgery the same way I am?


Jeff S asked:


I know that I can receive free refractive surgery after getting a thorough eye exam, getting my commander’s authorization, and then placed onto a waiting list, but is my wife also able to get such treatment?

How come the doctors who perform lasik surgery still wear glasses?


Lily asked:


Someone said to me, “if lasik surgery is so effective, then how come the doctors doing it still wear glasses? Why don’t they get it done too?” So now I am wondering the same thing.

Lostandconfused asked:


I had lasik surgery this year and I started wondering if I itemize can I deduct lasik as a medical expense or since it is a cosmetic or unnecessary procedure would it be disqualified as a deduction?
