Laser Criterion
laser eye surgery in the future?
I currenlty don’t meet the criteria for laser eye surgery, i’m + 7.0 in both eyes.
Will technology in the future be able to meet my requirements??
Laser surgery involves removing tissue. It is relatively easy to make a cornea flatter by removing tissue. This is what nearsighted people need. People who are farsighted like you need to have steeper corneas. This is a lot harder to do by removing tissue. For lower powers, they can kind of make it happen by removing tissue around the edges. I suspect that the correction for powers like yours will depend on other technology. Some is already available like phacic IOLs. Unfortunately there are fewer people with powers like yours so the drive to develop new technology is not as strong.
