As my life careers into middle age like a freight train, my eyes are now starting to deteriorate. Currently its not too bad and only need to wear my glasses if i've got tired eyes or on other rare occasions where I feel I need to. However I dread the time I have to start wearing them permanently and decided from the outset that i'd have them zapped at the earliest opportunity when my prescription settled. I know many people who have had them zapped with absolutely zero adverse effects.
However, someone I know is going to have a consultation for a different method where the lens is actually replaced with a man-made synthetic lens. Apparently its a procedure that has been used for ages to treat Cataract and sorts out both long and short sightedness and won't deteriorate with old age - obviously zapping your eyes only delay's the deterioration of your eyes.
My thinking is that now my eyes are definitely deteriorating I won't have to wait for my prescription to settle and can go straight for this procedure.
Apparently the procedure is very similar to Lazek laser surgery where the lens is partially removed so your retina can get zapped - all they do here is completely remove the lens and replace it so the procedure only takes 20 mins or so and the benefits are immediate apart from a bit of minor irritation for a few days after.
Has anyone got any experience of it? Cheers.
