Q) I need to correct my vision to 20/20 or better. Right now I have 20/30- and 20/25 with slight astigmatism. I want to join French NAVY. But they dont accept laser correction yet. Which procedure is best for my small correction and is less detectable on normal eye exam? Or where I could say "it always been this way"? Thank you very much for your time!
A) LASIK involves creating a flap in the cornea and then, reshaping the cornea while photorefractive keratectomy, PRK and advanced surface ablation, ASA involve only the recontouring part. These procedures are performed to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism and often result in excellent uncorrected acuity. In the U.S., the Navy has approved the LASIK procedure. Nonetheless, the shape of the cornea changes after surgery,and certain tests may show a pattern suggesting that you have undergone laser vision correction.
