Sports Vision
Does laser eye surgery work for any eyes no matter how bad the vision? [Except blindness]?
I have really bad vision and I want to fix my eyes…Really its not that I don’t like wearing glasses, but I love to play sports so my glasses are like a curse. I don’t want contacts because I’m scared they might get lost. Any tips about keeping my vision from decreasing at the moment?
Because LASIK involves removing part of the cornea, my understanding is that the extremely high corrections would require too much removal and leave the cornea thinner than desirable.
Soft contacts, while playing sports, is a good option for many people. While it’s true that the hard contacts can fly out of your eye pretty easily in contact sports, it’s also true that soft contacts rarely do. They are pretty good at staying in for almost everyone.
Rigid contacts may help your Rx stabilize (not increase need for correction) or may help “mold” your cornea so you can reduce your dependence on corrective lenses.
I’m sure your eye care professional would be happy to discuss these options with you, and will be able to provide you with more personalized choices.
