Will wearing old eye glasses make my eye sight worse?

lasik eye surgery 10 years image

Peggy Pira

I want to do lasik eye surgery and have to wear my eyeglasses for 2 weeks. My glasses are 10 years old and I can see out clearly but they are not the right script. Should I buy new glasses. I don't want to harm my eyes before surgery

Answer
i doubt wearing your old specs for 2 weeks will change your eyesight. you should be ok. but ask your doctor to make sure.

Roughly, how much would you say laser eye surgery is going for nowadays?

The last ad i saw that advertised it (laser eye surgery/LASIK) was around maybe 500? But again, what would be different between paying 500 to let's say 1000? Is it basically the name (as well as the reliability) of the doctor that you're paying the extra $ for? I've worn both glasses (for almost 10 years) and contacts (two years), and am really considering getting it done sometime in the near future... but again it kinda sounds scary since there could always be that error of them messing it up?

Answer
know the feeling . wore heavy ( thick ) glasses for all my life.. tried contact lenses ..ended up at hospital 9 long story) so had lasik wave treatment.
cost £4000 as used Moorefields , decided to go where all the opticians went who have eyes done.( they ought to know where is best!)
was also worried about risks to eyes.. ended up opting to have it done. lasted over a year.. ( no glasses except to read small writing with) now eyes gradually getting worse and I need glasses ( thin ones) for both near and far sight. oh well overall still think it was worth doing. incidentally you get around 5-6 seconds of near panic during procedure but once past that stage.. ( very common) its all plain sailing . first night you cant see diddly squat . next morning so clear you went round staring at everything as if given eyes for first time. nature in brilliant detail and colour.
