Question: This may be a strange question but can you get better vision by replacing your eyes?
I've been thinking about how high my prescription is and all ive been reading on the internet is that theres no way of getting better vision other than laser eye surgery but the problem is that it comes with risk. so i was wondering. is it possible to get better eye sight by replacing your eyes. ive seen in tv how people replace their eyes with donor eyes when they go blind. so ive been wondering is it possible to do this to get better vision. for example your eyes degree is 600 and you just cant stand it anymore. can you replave your eyes to make it better? much better that you dont have to wear glasses anymore?

thats a good question. i dont think you can do that in real life. but it would be interesting to find out. would their perfect vision go to you? would your vision be worse than your regular eyes? would your body just reject them leaving you blind? all very sciencey questions that we arent quite far enough in technology to answer. :/ i guess just live with your horrible eyesight.



Replacing your eyes is really a hectic task. In fact it is tough and hard to find the right donor. Sometime it is expensive too.
why don't you like to wear wear glasses.
so that is your decision, and in your case you can opt for Contact lenses, it works good.

There's no such thing as of now. That's just in the movies. For some people who's eyes are damaged enough that they need donor eyes. But that's only for appearances only.
Sorry...



Its not possible to replace your eyes. i think what you are looking at here is replacement of the corneas. This is part of the eye which can get a degenerative disease causing blindness. Its not the whole eye - its not currently possible to connect up the nerves etc to make an eye transplant work. Now if you have eyesight problems not connected with a degenerative disease ( sounds like this is you ) then cornea replacement wouldn't make any difference as your problem lies with the shape of the eyeball. If you had a degenerative disease teh optician would have told you and discussed this type of thing. At this time your only option for perfect vision is surgery which does have risks. I'd rather not wear glasses as well but I find modern glasses a lot better and contacts are wonderful. Possibly in future more options will exist - when I was young contacts were new and lasik unheard of - but at the moment no magic solution exists.



Your vision is really all about angles and how nerves interact with parts of your eyeball. Correcting poor vision is also about correcting the angles:

Laser and LASIK surgery simply adjust the angles your cornea views the outside world. This feat is done with precise lasers and computers.

Glasses, and contacts do much the same but are less precise and need relative readjustments.

Cornea Transplants (the closest thing to replacing your eyeball) is really just a way to replace a cornea (the nerves that translate what you see) that is physically broken and cannot be readjusted by the above conventional means.

Hope this helps (my girlfriends dad is an optometrist so I hear this sort of stuff all the time)
