Lasik or PRK surgery.

The only proven ways to do this is by laser refractive surgery (LASIK) and orthokeratology (ortho-K).  LASIK uses a laser to reshape the front of the eye (the cornea).  Ortho-K uses gas permeable contact lenses to temporarily flatten the cornea.  Contrary to popular belief, vitamin A and other supplements will not help you with this.  You really should discuss your concerns with your eye doctor.  He/she can recommend options that will work for your eyes.

I recently started doing eye exercises to improve my vision. I am seeing some improvements, which is great encouragement to continue.\n\nI created a website and a blog so that people can follow my progress. Check it out...\n\nhttp://www.improvingmyeyesight.com/\n\nThere is also an article which talks about nutrition and eye care\nhttp://improvingmyeyesight.com/Nutrition_and_Eye_Health.html

I have quite a few friends that have had the surgery.\nThe longest has been 10 years ago.  None of them have loss any vision since the surgery and they are all very pleased with the outcome.

my grandad just had his eyes done and he has eighty per cent vision back which is better than he had before.  He is so happy that he doesn't need his glasses any more and really appreciates how it has turned his life around.\nThey perform it like this\n1) they give you an anesthetic that numbs the eye and the eye is held open by a special instrument as not to blink.\n2)they cut on the cornea to create a flap to access the middle layers\n3)the surgeon sculpts the middle layers before replacing the flap, this does not hurt and when the flap is replaced it starts to heal immediately\n4)your eyes will be gritty light and watery after but they give you transparent eye shields that you need to wear at bed time for five nights.  They also advise you bring sunglasses for when you leave\nhope this helps\nwww.opticalexpress.com

There isn't anything that will keep you from becoming nearsighted.  It is all about the way the light reaches the retina.  Contacts work well, because the bend the cornea directly.  I have been nearsighted all my life.  It has progressively gotten worse with age.  I have worn contacts and glasses, but prefer glasses as contacts do not fit my lifestyle.  \nI am not so sure about Lasik surgery.  I have heard bad things about your eyes going back to the way they were or worse.  Not something I would look into doing.  But there isn't any food or exercises that will change the shape of your cornea, thus change the way you see.  Sorry!

I've had patients with retinal detachments that get surgery.  The type of surgery depends on how severe the detachment is.  If you caught it early enough, they may be able to fix your retina with laser treatment, which probably won't affect your vision too badly.  If it's more advanced, they may need to put a "scleral buckle" around your eye.  If that's the case, you can expect a gradual change in your prescription for the next 6 months or so.  Worse yet, you'll need macular repair, but few people let it get that bad.\n\nGood luck!

Why go for the cheapest? You only get one pair of eyes. Lasik is a real surgery not a manicure or a haircut. Ask friends or family for good surgeons. Look for someone that has done 1000's of surgeries. Look for someone that specializes in refractive surgery. Look for someone who has great results...but don't go for the cheapest available. Do you want "Walmart" eyes or "Nordstrom" eyes?

Lazy eye is a pretty broad term that encompasses quite a few different eye problems.  Many of these problems are treatable with therapy (it might not make the eye or vision perfect, but it usually can help) and surgery is an option in some cases.  In your case, it wouldn't hurt to consult a specialist or in the very least to get a second opinion.  If treatment is possible, it's the most effective if it's begun early.

My laser eye surgery did not hurt at all. My daughter and I had it done at the same time. I have worn glasses since I was 9 years old and I was SOOOOOO excited to get up the day after surgery, look across the street, and be able to read the house numbers! I only wish I had been able to do it sooner. The farsightedness that occurs in middle age cannot be corrected by Lasik so I have to wear glasses for reading but not for distance. For a few months afterward, I used to see "halos" and double lights at night, but that's disappeared now. If you follow all the aftercare advise on eye drops, sunglasses, etc, you should be fine! I have never regretted having the surgery! Good luck!

First and foremost: DO YOUR RESEARCH ON DOCTORS PERFORMING IT IN YOUR AREA.  Talk to people who have had it done. It is considered a relatively simple procedure with great success.  Of course, like with every surgery there can always be some risk.  This one is pretty low.  They have it pretty much mastered now.  20/20 for 5 years after my Lasik!  I have ZERO regrets!

Flying used to require 20/20 vision, but that has evolved as corrective vision has improved. The most recent changes, which took effect in Sept. of 1996 (see Part 67 of the Federal Air Regulations), require distant vision of 20/20 corrected or uncorrected and near vision of 20/40 or better corrected or uncorrected. Individual companies are still free to set their own standards and they vary across the board.\n\nRegarding corrective surgery there are primarily two types: Refractive Keratotomy (RK) & Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK). RK is easily detectable by the airlines and generally not liked (see SPN's Medical article - they give a nice summary of the procedures). LASIK is too new to say definitively what the airlines or other pilot employers think about it. \n\nTo sum up, don't let your vision deter you. If you're correctable to 20/20, go for it!

Best money that i ever spent.   Had a prescription (for contracts) of -6.5 in both eyes - so my eyesight was terrible.   Had both eyes done at the same time - better than 20;20 vision after recovery.  Hurts a little bit straight after, but recovery time is quick - everything was fine after 2-3 days.  \n\nWould advise anybody to have it done.
