Is it LASIK, PRK or The Visian ICL or any other?
I'm talking about permanent cure to myopia.
Please suggest operations which have least or no complications.
Answer
With today's technology, there are no permanent cures. The best we have is LASIK and that may not provide the person with perfect 20/20 vision. Also if the eye then changes in shape years down the road, a follow up surgery may be indicated. Also, LASIK does not correct for presbyopia (needing bifocals). But, that's the best we have today.
Every surgery has it's risks. What the patient must do (and it is strickly up to the patient), is to weigh what is called "risk versus reward". Does the risk of the surgery and something going wrong outweigh the reward if everything goes right or does the reward outweigh the risk?
Each person is different and must be evaluated for the surgery in order to make that determination.
Gather all the facts (not myths) and then weigh the risks and rewards that are specifically applicable to your case. It can only be your call.
ON EDIT: Here we go again, the "natural" remedy. It's a bunch of hogwash! Totally and completely a fraud. Those who fall for it lose their money and don't gain anything.
FACT: Visual acuity is determined by the shape of the eye and NOT the muscles surrounding the eye like they would want you to believe in this SCAM. The shape of the eye, like the shape of a person's nose, can only be changed by surgery and Not by doing "muscle exercises".
If you want to try "natural" cures that don't exist, go to these WITCH DOCTORS and they will happily take your money and run.

Please explain the risks and what are the reasons to get Lasik or laser eye surgery?
Ms. Floats
You can start with a list and add as you feel appropriate.... I'm curious about the reasons why and why not to "risk" getting Lasik or a similar laser vision correction.
Answer
This is basically a procedure for young adults who haven't developed presbyopia yet. They can have years of not having to wear glasses while those of us who are older would still need glasses no matter what. That is one of the reasons I have decided not to get it. The risks I know of from getting this procedure are dry eyes, blurriness, bad night vision, and the possibility of rupturing the cornea since it is permanently weakened. Then there is the chance of overcorrection in some people. They end up with the opposite problem from what they had before. Some people end up having to wear glasses again within a few years. If I were younger, I might have considered it.
