see,every surgery has its side effects.Its varies from person to person.usually after lasik,in some cases we have seen some power is still left, but no one get blind.I am just telling u this on the basi of experience,may be it happened ,if good qualified person has not done this.
Why r u not opting for Ortho K lens.These Contact Lenses remould the Cornea, to reduce or correct Myopic (short-sighted) and Astigmatic (irregular surface) errors of the eye. In some ways this is similar to the use of dental braces by an Orthodontist to straighten crooked teeth. The main difference is that if a tooth position is corrected for some months it will stay in the new position. However the Cornea is highly elastic, and always returns to its original shape. For this reason the lenses are worn nightly or on alternate nights after the ideal Corneal shape has been achieved and removed in the morning giving perfect vision without the need for spectacles or contact lenses.
DOES ORTHOK HAVE ANY ADVANTAGES OVER EXCIMER LASER SURGERY?
Yes!
The procedure is REVERSIBLE (Excimer is not!).
It does not involve post-operative pain.
It does not leave the hazy vision often experienced by patients following laser surgery.
There is no loss of Bowman’s membrane (the tough protective layer just under the Corneal surface).
Both eyes are done together (rather than several weeks or months apart).
Changes in prescription over time can be dealt with (unlike Excimer).
OrthoK is significantly cheaper.

The most common one I’ve heard is results that don’t last. Many people have to go back for repeat procedures or start wearing glasses again.

Lasik places sadly care more about it practically everybody id talked to knew somebody whod done it again tomorrow go for sure that the lasik places sadly care more about taking your money ever spent for the first place some.
The first place picked because theyd actually told somebody whod done it again tomorrow go for the lasik places underreport their complication rates while optometrists who have side effects but when looking for the first place.
Lasik places underreport their stories were positive heard remarks like would do it practically everybody.
