Very high power glasses are required

2017-11-12 13:49:41
I've wearing spectacles since last 15 years and my vision has gone from bad to worse Initially I was told that my number will be increasing -0.5 every six months and now I wear a glass with -9.5 power on both eyes and its been stable for last 1 year. Should I opt for laser surgery since I'm afraid of using lens and I need to improve my vision. Without spectacles I feel like blind. Suggest something to improve my vision Thank you in advance

Hello Lasik is a very good option for this Your doctor will perform few tests like pentacam to see corneal thickness and topography and retinal evaluation and if all these tests are normal then lasik can be done without fear Regards
