I have a visual impairment minus 12 and my other eye minus 14. I am 6 years old. Is it possible to perform laser vision correction? What is my chance of seeing normally?
LASER CORRECTION IS APPLIED ON PEOPLE WHO SHORT SIGHTING DOES NOT EXCEED -10d. FOR HIGH SHORT SIGHTING LENSES MAY SOLVE. Phakic lenses are a type of intraocular lens that is attached to the patient's natural lens. At the moment we are waiting for the most modern lenses, their appearance on the market will take place - I hope so - any day. If you are interested in such a solution, with more details, please send an inquiry to: [email protected] you will be added to the database of patients waiting for the implementation of such a procedure.
