Hi there
I am zarshis Avari, 18 years of age.I have got a power of around 8.5 in both eyes and am myopic.I am really really worried about my eyes.I do a lot of work on the computer and even read a lot of books which i think has lead to this situation.My father too has a power of 9.The problem is since i do a lot of reading i have a high cylinder number.My doctors said i cannot wear lenses because of that.Is that true?I recently had a laser operation on my eyes.The doctor said there were small pinholes or tears in the retina which they filled up using the laser.I would also like to know if LASIK is appropriate for someone with a number as high as mine.Does it lead to blindness?
I am doing a Medical Science course which asks for a lot of reading to be done.I plan to enter research in the future and hence am very worried about my eyesight.Please do advise me on the situation.
Thanks
Zarshis
