How old should you be before you have eye surgery (to correct your eye sight)?

Q. I am near-sighted and am 13.5 years old. How old should I be before getting corrective eye surgery?

A. Laser vision correction, such as lasik, should not be done until your eyes have stabilized- in other words not until you are no longer changing the power of your glasses or contact lenses. This rarely occurs before age 18 years, and may not be until your 20's. For more information about laser vision correction contact http://tinyurl.com/Dr-Groden


Is there any way to reverse vision loss without surgery?
Q. I recently started experiencing vision loss in both of my eyes and am wondering if there is any way I can reverse this without surgery.
I am 20 years old and never had any problems before now.
My prescription had gotten a lot worst lately and now I'm at a -2 presciption in both eyes. A few months ago I was only a -1 something.
Can I fix this? Do eye excercises really work?

A. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe central visual loss in people over 50 years of age. Up until one year ago, there was nothing available to slow-down this devastating loss of vision. The revolutionary new drug, Lucentis now offers this group of patients hope for not only slowing down the progression, but actually recovering vision which has been lost.

If you’re suffering from farsightedness, nearsightedness or astigmatism, you may be considering Lasik surgery. We’re pleased to tell you that we’ve discovered a better way
- a natural way - to natural vision improvement without the Lasik cost, and without the Lasik complications

The FDA reports that Lasik surgery results may not be lasting, and that any improvement noticed after surgery may be temporary, especially if you’re farsighted or use reading glasses now. You may also, according to the FDA, still need glasses or contacts after surgery, even if your prescription was weak before you started

The risks and complications of Lasik surgery are also well documented, and include the following:
Corneal scarring, leading to permanent vision loss
Severe and permanent dry-eye syndrome
Cutting through of the corneal flap, leading to permanent and irreversible eye damage
Migration of the corneal flap, leading to further surgery and temporary or permanent blindness
Halos, starbursts and blurry vision, usually uncorrectable
Inflammation and infection, a risk with any surgery, which can also lead to temporary or permanent vision loss

For a mere fraction of the cost of Lasik (which runs from $1,600 to $2,500 per eye and is not covered by most health plans), and with no side effects or complications at all, you can improve your vision, and improve your life, with a unique alternative natural vision improvement program

Research confirms that natural eye exercises aid in natural vision correction, and a center has developed a solution that incorporates special glasses with the fun and entertainment of computer software. Better yet, your eyes exercise naturally while watching the program. You don’t have to work—just sit back, relax, and enjoy improved vision without surgery

How risky eye surgery is?
Q. 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!

A. 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.
