Question:
Laser surgery - is it any good for a lazy eye?
I have been told that my left eye is a lazy eye so glasses dont make any difference for that eye as it would just make a bigger blur. I have got glasses with only the right lense magnifying and a clear lense for my left eye My right eye has always compensated for the vision in my left but now that I am getting older my eyesight is getting worse in my right eye and I am longsighted. I dont think I would like to risk having laser surgery on the better eye as there is a small risk something may go wrong and I completely depend on that eye (minocular vision was what I think my optician called it). But I would like to try and sort out the eye that has always been bad..
Answers:
the one before me told you the truth, I'm an eye surgeon [not American] the laser operation will never make the lazy eye any better [ you will find many surgeons that will do it just for the money ] and I think the glasses will be your best friend for life [for the good eye] frequently check you vision to increase the right eye prescription if you need ,or do the lasik [although I don't recommend it] good luck
