Do I need a Laser Vision Correction (LASIK)?
I remember during one of the meme tags I have received about the 8 random things about me, I said my left eye is not functioning anymore. And it was sad but true. It’s called “lazy eye” or in medical term amblyopia. It is a childhood disease. I have actually detected this problem since I was about 7 years old during our yearly eye exam in elementary grade. I told my mom about it but she did not want to entertain it because she was saying I couldn’t have a “blind eye” at a young age. Well, it’s one of the misconceptions moms have sometimes. The case has gotten worse over years and now, I only see blurry images with my left eye. Good thing I have my right eye, but I have to wear eyeglasses and contact lenses.
During our clerkship rotation in the EENT department, I was examined by our consultant and officially said I have amblyopi. He has saying that I can have a laser vision correction (LASIK).
The procedure is costly and there are complications I should consider. One scary complication is irreversible blindness.
Well, to answer my own question. I badly need my vision and LASIK may help me to gain it back.

Hi there, I am a newb and searching for articles and reviews on the web related to Lasik eye surgery that could possibly assist me. Thanks for the information. I think you do have a really cool web page. I am gonna tell some of my classmates and friends at school about this.
I randomly browse blogs on the internet, and I find your article to be very informational. I’ve already bookmark it on my browser, so that I can view your weblog post again later.

I do not usually do that, but I hope that we are able to have a mutual hyperlink exchange. Let me know and have a fantastic day!
Your consultant is right; LASIK surgery can be an option for people with “lazy eye” (amblyopia). Definitely consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if LASIK is an option for you.
Wish you the best with your vision!
