• What will he be able to do after lasik surgery

  It is not recommended to use your eyes 24-48 hours after the surgery, cuz there is too much risks for infections or complications during these important peroids of time.I think his doctor has given him some notes & instructions after the surgery, he must do as the doctor adviced.

  Your eyes will be numbed so that the whole process is not painful, and the whole process takes about 10 min. You can feel all what doctors do on your eyes and the wetness from the solution. Never be afraid of this, you may think all will be well after the limited 10 mins.

• What is your opinion about lasik eye surgery?

  Maybe it is not true. My dad had a surgery for 5 years and until now everything goes well, he has clear vision ,he don't have to wear his eyeglasses or any contacts, In fact, you should take care of your eyes after the surgery, pay special attention to the eye health cuz eyes are much easier infected before the surgery.Take a rest after long time of using eyes.

  After several years, you may be treated with another surgery due to overcorrection or undercorrection that you got during the first lasik surgery. There are also the risks of being blind and having night driving difficulties. However, the chance you get the risk of lasik surgery is less than 1%.

• Can I get Lasik surgery if I have a Toric contacts prescription?

  You can get LASIK surgery even if you have a Toric contacts prescription but the price is much higher than the regular one. You are not permitted to wear your contacts for a long time before the surgery cuz the toric contacts lenses are much thicker and can distort your cornea more than other contacts.

• Is the difference between prescription glasses and clear glasses readily noticeable?

  The prescription on the prescription glasses and the clear glasses makes the difference. The lenses for nearsighted people are thinner in the middle and thicker all around. But the lenses for farsighted people are thick in the middle and thinner all around. Some lenses for people who are slightly farsighted seemed to be alomst the same with non-prescription lenses.

• How does the lens thickness affect the look and fitness of glasses?

  The higher the prescription, the higher index is required for the lenses. Selecting a higher index will ensure your lenses are as light and thin as possible. This will improve the overall look (by being thinner) and comfort (by being lighter) of your eyeglasses if you are significantly nearsighted or farsighted. But for your power it is OK to choose 1.57 index lenses. Your power is read as you are near sighted, OD stands for the right eye while OS stands for the left eye. Your power for your right eye is -1.50, left eye: -1.25. CYL, cylinder is the diopters degree of the astigmatism which is showed as the middle value in your prescription, Right eye CYL: -0.50 Left eye CYL: -2.50 Axis is a number between 0-180 meaning the orientation of your astigmatism which is showed as the last number in your prescription. Axis for right eye:140, Axis for left eye:76.There is no sign before this number.
