lasik treatment for my eye?

Question:

i am thinking of getting lasik treatment for my eyes when my eye s stops getting worse. Currently my eyes are -6/-6.5(left/right), and my eye doctore told me that it's very likely that my vision will consistently get worse for another 5 years or so (b/c of my age, I guess? I am teen-aged). Is it safe to get lasik treatment? won't my eyes get worse after treatment?

I really want to get away from my glasses ASAP.(boy, do I look like a nerd in my glasses - no offence to anybody. I like nerds, and I am a science nerd myself. but I still want to look cool, you know.) I can't get contacts b/c my parents wont let me get it 'till I go to college.

Answers:
Well your parents are right wait for a while then get it done wait till your atleast 18 and from what I heard it's great everyone i spoke with has liked it the only thing i've heard so far from one person that there not able to drive at night now because of it but i guess you take chances on everything.

Other Answers:
If your eyes are still changing, no reputable doctor should offer you LASIK. Wait until they stabilize, or you could be extremely sorry.

I don't understand, why would a dr. tell you your eyesight will get worse for next five years if you are so young? You might need a second opinion. I'd like to get lasik also, i'm kind of afraid though. Go online and read all you can about it, then go have the dr. tell you all about it first. Don't rush into it, check it out first. Consult with the doctor first. My mom has bad eyes also, and they want her to get the surgery. She is actually scheduled next month, so if the doctor says yes, go for it.

Try to talk to your parents into letting you get contacts. Maybe they will go in 1/2 of the cost (if that is their concern). I wore contacts at 14 and got Lasix last year at 50. I LOVE IT!

Good Luck@@

Lasik Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges kall types of surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as all types of surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your eye surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.hope this helps.
