What type of corrective eye surgery is least likely to leave a corneal scar?

We Answered:

May be caused by injury to the cornea (abrasion, laceration, burns, or disease); depending on the degree of scarring, vision can range from a blur to total blindness
Surface abrasions, although extremely painful, heal transparently (do not leave scars).
Deeper abrasions and ulcerations/lacerations result in a loss of corneal tissue, which is replaced by scar tissue.

Most corneal scars are a result of an abrasion.
One way to get around this (usually in more serious cases) is a corneal transplants.

I would see your optometrist to have him refer you to an ophthalmologist.

hope that helps,

How much does corrective laser eye surgery cost?

We Answered:

With LASIK surgery you will generally get what you pay for: the more experienced surgeons with the more advanced technology will charge more for LASIK. Here in Southern California you could probably find someone good who would charge in the range of $2,500-3,800 per eye.

Probably the most important decision someone who is considering LASIK must make is what surgeon to choose. Although I do not perform LASIK, I have created a document for my cataract patients to help them in choosing a surgeon. The article can be viewed by clicking this link:

The advice in this document can be applied to choosing any surgeon in any specialty, not just cataract surgeons.

Edgar Said:

What age is a good age for corrective eye surgery?

We Answered:

One should typically wait til about mid-20's. Most MD's look for at least 3 yrs of stable vision. The eyes will continue to grow til usually mid to late teens. At infancy, the length of the eyeball is between 17-18 mm and the average adult eyeball is ~24 mm in length. Puberty is typically when the prescription of the eyes change the most. The person has a big growth spurt and grows many inches, the eye lengthens (grows too, but not by big #'s) and you become more nearsighted. Everyone's different, but most people stabilize in mid-20's. Thus, LASIK is best then.

Heads up though, you'll still need reading glasses in your 40's! Everyone does!
