the first laser eye surgery

the first laser eye surgery
Should I get lalasikye surgery again?

I got my eyes lasered with Lasik about 5 years ago. I was 22 at the time and my eyes hadn’t been stable for 2 years, but I got it anyways because I was going backpacking and didn’t want to bring contacts.

Now, my vision has deteriorated a little bit and I need glasses for driving or other far away things. It’s almost at -1. I also got stigmatism in one eye because of the way it healed.

The place where I got it has a life time guarantee so I am thinking about going back,

Has anyone got their eyes re-lasered after the first time? Is there more risk involved the second time?

Thanks!

Pardon me, but are you mentally challenged? What you wrote is unbelievable: “my eyes hadn’t been stable for 2 years, but I got it anyways because I was going backpacking and didn’t want to bring contacts. “. Do you have an idea of what you did to your eyes for such a silly and childish reason? The surgeon’s behaviour was totally unprofessional and unethical but you acted as the most superficial person in the world.
Did you know that laser surgery does NOT cure eyesight ? It only creates a lens on your cornea (and the cornea had nothing to do with nearsightedness in the first place). In order to do that, parts of your cornea were permanently destroyed because cornea does not grow back. Have you ever heard of cornea transplants ? The cornea is an extremely important part of your eye and you ilaser eye surgeryged it, because that’s inevitable in every laser eye surgery of this kind. And now you want to re-laser your eyes ? Sheer madness.

Fron an anatomical point of view, your nearsightedness never disappeared. Even if after the surgery your eyesight was perfect, your eyes were still as nearsighted as before, because nearsightedenss is caused not by the cornea but by the abnormal length of the eye. Laser can do nothing about it, that’s why it only creates a lens on your cornea by destroying parts of it. Now your eyes are not just -1. You have to add the initial visual defect you had when you were 22 because it’s still there, absolutely intact. You think you’re just -1 because you forget you have a cornea reshaped to function as a lens.
