How risky eye surgery is?

laser eye surgery at 60 image

Jack

I am planning of getting a job that requires perfect vision (now I am 15 years old, my vision is around 20/60) . So option is to get eye surgery when I will be 19-22 years old. But I want to know the risks of such a surgery.
Thanks!

Answer
Lasik is dangerous. They remove tissue and then shoot a laser to your cornea which has UV light. Even if you see after the surgery, Your vision can get worse as you get older. Some people have a bad procedure and their eyes are destroyed. Here is a link to a website that warns of how the Lasik industry is hiding long term risks.

Your vision is 20/60 like mine was. If you tried to do eye exercises you could improve eyesight. Try to google the bates method. Or eye exercises. Google palming eye exercise and palm for a couple of minutes each day or as long as you want. I was able to improve my eyesight and get an unrestricted driver's liscence which means I can legally drive without glasses. Try to reduce the amount of time you wear your glasses and only wear them when needed. You could also wear a weaker prescription and adjust to needing less prescription. Wear your old glasses if you know what I mean.

What can I do to receive financial help for a surgery if I have no insurance?

My aunt has diabetes and congestive heart failure. She needs to have an angiogram and some other work in her heart immediately to keep her alive; also, she needs to have some laser surgery on her eye to keep her from going blind. They have very little insurance. Her insurance covers only doctor office visits. His insurance is different but only a little better. The angiogram is going to cost between 2,000 and 4,000 dollars and the second heart surgery will be about $60,000. They may be able to pay for the first one, but that will drain the savings. After that, they will have all of the eye stuff to pay for.
She is no longer able to work, so they are living only on his income. She had to quit her job because her diabetes was out of control (when she quit she had not yet been diagnosed). I was wondering if anyone knew what we could do to begin getting some assisstance. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer
Is she in the US? Has she been disabled for 2 years? Has she applied for Social Security benefits? If the answer to these 3 questions is yes, she would be eligible for Medicare which would help her. Otherwise, I would talk to the doctors office and the finance office at the hospital to see what assistance might be available to her.
