Besides the traditional glasses and contacts, there are a couple of other options. Before laser surgery, there was radial keratotomy, but it isn't used that much anymore. It involves actually cutting the cornea to reshape it. There is a new procedure called Intacs that entails implanting the micro-thin intracorneal rings into the cornea by a trained eye surgeon. Implantable contact lenses, known as phakic intraocular lenses to ophthalmologists, are presently being investigated and utilized as another refractive procedure. There is also a procedure called orthokeratology, commonly referred too as braces for eyes. Your eye is reshaped by using hard contacts. You have to wear a "retainer" for a few hours each day to maintain the correction.

∙ 14y agoGlasses and contact lenses can make your vision clearer. However, they can be harmful to your eyesight in the long run.
In order to improve your eyesight, you should do eye exercises designed to permanently improve your vision. Such exercises only take about 10 minutes a day and can be very effective if done correctly.

∙ 14y agoOn your eyes there is something s bit like a contact lens, which helps you see. The laser cuts through the lens and they move the lens so that it will help you see more clearly, the results of laser eye surgery are not 100%, my friend had it and his eyesight is opposite, he was short sighted, had the surgery and now he is long sighted. But it sure is better than glasses! (trust me, i know)

Does lasik cause presbyopia?
Lasik surgery is advised around the age of 20 ; by that age, the power stabilises. After Lasik, the remaining power is given in glasses. Never expect 100% correction by Lasik. The problem of presbyopia starts around 40 and one has to wear glasses. New types of operations are now done to correct correct presbyopia.
What are the benefits of LASIK laser eye surgery?
The benefits of LASIK laser eye surgery are that they correct the vision. Around 90% of patients will have their desired vision after LASIK. An enhancement can further increase the number. It is also associated with very less pain. After surgery, patients can recover quickly and easily. Also there is no need for bandages or stitches. Also no need to wear glasses. Many patient experiences that their vision is corrected almost immediately after surgery or a day after surgery.
Does lasik surgery only cure distance?
No. LASIK is routinely performed on individuals who are nearsighted, farsighted, and have astigmatism. For those patients who are approaching middle age and are noticing a change in their near vision (needing over-the-counter or prescription reading glasses), having LASIK will not correct their near vision. There is a modification we can make to the LASIK procedure called monovision which does allow them to see well up close in one eye and see well far away in the other. Hope that helps!
Can you see well enough after LASIK to drive a car - without contact lenses or glasses?
If a patient is a candidate for LASIK, then they almost always will see well enough to drive without glasses or contacts afterwards with a few exceptions.To begin with the person must be capable of normal vision prior to the LASIK procedure in both eyes and be fully correctable with glasses or contact lenses. Second, the night vision might not be as good after LASIK as with conventional correction, but with the newer treatments night vision is rarely a problem.Most States require a minimum of 20/40 vision to drive without correction. If you were to examine the FDA approval statistics for most lasers they report that almost 100% of patients achieve this goal. Many patients do not feel comfortable driving with 20/40 vision and the percentage of 20/20 or close to that becomes an important consideration for where an individual feels that they can see well enough to drive. In general, the chances of achieving 20/20 vision are around 90% or better so it is highly likely that the vision would be suitable for driving. In fact many pilots fly aircraft with the vision that they achieve with LASIK surgery.There can be other issues such as glare, halos, light sensitivity, etc, but in general most everyone who has LASIK is able to drive without correction. Many patients can drive the day after their procedure, but for some it takes a couple of days.

Glasses are an age old remedy and readily available pretty much anywhere on earth. Lasik surgery can correct a number of maladies commonly associated with poor vision.
What does wearing glasses have in common with laser surgery as a method for correcting vision problems?
Glasses prescription is the basis for laser vision correction. It is the glasses spectacle correction which is entered into the laser to do the procedure. Newer procedures also use wavefront data or do a wavefront optimized approach. Glasses cause some distortion of the vision both by the reflections from them as well as optically they distort the view of the world and limit peripheral vision. LASIK provides vision more like that of contact lenses.
Can Laser surgery can permanently improve a persons vision?
LASIK is a surgical procedure where the front of the eye is permanently reshaped to focus light properly on the retinal photo-receptors in the back of the eye. It sends sharply focused light to the nerve layer. This information must then be carried by electrical signals to the brain for processing and ultimately vision. If there are problems behind the cornea anywhere in the visual system, then LASIK will not restore vision. For instance in the case of a clouded lens within the eye, or a damaged retina in the back of the eye, the signal will be blocked and no useful vision will result.LASIK replaces the vision from a misshaped eye, but cannot regain vision if contact lenses or glasses will not regain the vision. Some people have very bad vision without their glasses or contacts, and in these cases LASIK can regain the vision that they once had at an early age. This is different from the case described above.
