Why Lasik is the only option for myopia
Saturday, April 24th, 2010
Myopia is a curse for millions, probably billions of people worldwide. Myopia is the inability to see an object clearly, at a distance; only objects nearby appears clear. The standard treatment is to wear glasses, but this does not heal myopia at all. Quite the contrary, wearing glasses only make myopia progressively worse.
There are only two ways to treat myopia - Lasik surgery, or practicing a program of eye exercises, calming meditation and careful diet. The latter is very difficult to follow, and requires a lot of discipline. Even so, it may take months before any kind of noticeable improvement take place. Also, you would need to be able to rest a lot in the house, because going to work with your glasses on, just negates whatever improvements you experience with your eye exercises.
That leaves us with Lasik eye surgery. Lasik may be costly, and somewhat risky, but nothing beats the speed of improvement, which is the best thing about it. You literally regain your vision in half an hour; so imagine rolling back decades of myopia with Lasik!
While you do need to rest after the surgery and not strain your eyes, the change can be so dramatic that it can floor you. A couple of weeks after surgery, and you can then do all the things you always wanted to do but couldn’t with your glasses on. How cool is that? Check out more Lasik facts here.
