What would be the best eye correction surgery for a current (-7.00 myopic)16/17 year old to take in the future?
I have -6.25 in my left and -7.00 in my right and im nearly 17. I want my eyes corrected whenever they settle down.. (hopefully when I’m 20).. i hate bad eye sight and i would really like it in the future.
I have hear about about Laser surgery, and implantable lenses and others.. which one would be the best or most ideal and what are the advantages..
P.S I live in the UK
depends on your cornea more than on your Rx:
plenty of corneal thickness: probably lasik
little bit thin cornea: probably PRK
abnormally thin cornea: probably phakic IOL ("Implantable" lenses)

Hi, I’m 15 and have -5.00 in my right eye and -5.75 in my left. Obviously my myopia is still progressing and I envisage my rx ending up somewhere around -9.00 or -10.00, which wouldn’t be a problem to me actually. I’ve read about laser and stuff but I find it kind of scary to think of my eyes being invaded by something I’m not entirely convinced about. Sometimes the treatmant can go wrong and then what? If you are very self-conscious about wearing glasses all the time, why not consider contacts?? That’s the route I’m thinking of going down once my eyes settle down, although at the moment, I somtimes wonder if they ever will!!
