Can you have lasik surgery with a nystagmatism?
MO asked:
My vision is horrible (4.25) anyways even if I could just get the vision part fixed not the nystagmatism would be great or not even fix my vision completely cause its so bad! But I think anything would help! Imp always feeling sick and everyone says it’s probally from my vision!
You bet.
My eyes were worse than that and I had it done.
I’m now 20/20.
talk to a doctor
They fixed mine! Do it.
Corrective lenses are for losers.
go in for an evaluation with as good a eye doctor as you can find. Try your local college of optometry for options if insurance is an issue. Only the doctor can tell you what (if any) your options may be to try and correct your vision. good luck!
lol…you combined two words…Nystagmus(an involuntary twitching of the eye) with Astigmatism. And yes you can have Lasik with an astigmatism. A word of caution…go to a reputable Lasik place. (I have told this story before)…I went to a clinic and they said I was “Good to go” for Lasik. Just to be sure, I went to the Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute for a second opinion. I also has an astigmatism and +7.50 Rx. Anyway, the very first test they did was a corneal mapping. The results determined I have Keratoconus. This is a condition that could lead to blindness, and a huge reason to NEVER have Lasik. So…thats why the warning. Anyway…Good Luck!!
I had lasik 10 years ago & am still enjoying the benefits. CAUTION; IF AN EYE CLINIC IS ADVERTISING THIER GREAT SPECIALS ON RADIO/TV – STAY AWAY. You only have one set of eyes; find the best in your area.
I had my lasik surgery done with an astygmatism and after wearing corrective lenses for 25 yrs. That was 8 years ago (when I was 36) and my vision is still 20/20. I will probably still require reading glasses (this is called prisbyopia, for which there are no surgical treatments for at this time) when I am older, but for reading only and not all of the time.
