Laser Surgery For The Eye
Iam having short sight since 5 years, initially i used to wear glasses, i got bored of it late ri used contact lens for 2 years. Initally i liked contact lens but it is very difficult wear daily, some times my eyes used to become dry. I heard that there is some thing called laser treatment in which laser is used for surgery. And after that i need not use the glass or contact lens. Is it true. Has any one has undergone this treatment

i think you should wait for some more days before going for lasik surgery as the long term effects are not known to the doctors.
