Well I among million others did it anyway.
ignoring all these paranoid statements.
I'm not saying the risk isn't there, just take a look at the rate of failure & rate of blindness caused by lasik operation
Failure rate is very low. Even if it fails, usually the correction is incomplete.

Well, its laser and your eyes are very important, really, even tho risks are low, who knows you're one of those 'lucky' person who got it? not cursing but better be safe than sorry.

However there's a natural way to cure shortsightedness. I still remember when I was 12, my teacher, who wore a super thick glasses, don't need glasses anymore. Me and my friends did ask her how she did it. She told me she eats carrot everyday, look at green trees and grasses everyday, rest her eyes, does not strain her eyes etc.

You guys can try that tho, it works on her, why not you?

I'm a very business minded person (i think)
Taking calculated risks is what I do all day long.
Driving on the road is far more dangerous than doing lasik. Just look for the statistics.
Yes our eyes are very important but our life is much more important. Yet just about everyone drive a car.
I took a lot of risks in my life & lasik is one I categorized as among the least risky.

Interesting what your teacher did.
I like to see some study paper on clinical trials or something if u don't mind looking up for me.
Coz this is the 1st time I heard someone cured from shortsightedness without lasik or other surgery.

Sif you need to drive to look at trees and grasses right? around your house don't have? plus you're driving to work everyday, you can still look at trees while you're driving. Sif I'm asking them to drive just to look at trees?

I did not say the word cured did i? smile.gif I was saying her eyesight got better, never said it was cured. Try googling what carrot can actually help for your eyes and green stuff too. Since I was 6 I knew youu always look at green stuff it actually helps your eyes. Don't tell me you're <insert your age here> and you don;t know? rolleyes.gif

Carrots:

Carrots and green stuff:

Ways to Improve Your Eyesight


1. Eat lots of carrots, and when i mean lots, i mean heaps. A carrot a day keeps the optometrist away. Your carrot should be boiled and be about 7 and a half inches long.

2. Look at the colour green a lot. Green is good for your eyes so it is especially good you look outside when you are driving through the country, or driving through a forest.

3. Eating either a boiled chicken liver or pork liver a WEEK is good for you. Liver contains a lot of vitamin a, so eating it once a week is enough.

4. When you are reading, always keep the book, newspaper or computer screen at least 30 centimetres away. This ensures your eyes don't get any worse.

5. Don't read, watch tv, or go on the computer for more than 45 minutes at a time. You need to take a break every half hour to 45 minutes. Your break should be doing something physical, as so your eyes can rest. This could be just walking around, talking to your siblings, or taking the rubbish out and doing other household chores. This is so your eyes won't get tired.


Now mr.whatever your name is, are you satisfied? Can't belive I knew it at 6 and you're <insert your age here> you still dunno.

imo, i think what your teacher told you was just a nice way of saying she got contacts.... to this day there is a lot of research for techniques to cure vision, so far lasik has the highest rate of corrective surgery, some people use the glasses with the lobang in it and those eye machines that flex and relax your eye muscles, most people using those will get results of reducing their power, but not to completely go without glasses.

as for lasik surgery, the complications that come from the surgery are usually after the surgery, there is a few days that the patient needs to take care of their eyes while it heals, its at this time that complications occur. not the actual laser burning through the eye.

IMO, you will know if its contacts. its very obvious. check my above post.

id have to agree with caerulln here.... think about what you said...

1. your teacher had super thick glasses... you mentioned this.
2. your teacher no longer wears glasses... you mentioned this.

why doesnt she wear glasses?

3. because she eats carrots and looks at green things... you mentioned this.
sounds like a cure for bad vision to me.
you shouldnt eat "heaps" of carrots... you get a skin problem called carotenemia.

I can't believe at 21, you still don't know how to differentiate published study paper from articles on website pages.
Mythbuster line: Everything on the web must be true.

Yes those things that they suggested is good & might help our vision.
What I want to know is the hard data. The numbers please.
I can provide numbers & data on lasik if u want smile.gif

btw, I'm tired of people using my words against me.
dont ask me for definition of what i said. U know what i meant.
As I said, to me, no need to use glasses (or contacts) is cured already.

just so u know, I'm not a medical student but I am studying something slightly related (what am i doing here. exam is next week!)
So i do know a little bit of stuff & I definitely know how a study paper look like smile.gif

I never said I was 21 laugh.gif
You just can't face the facts that its proven carrots can help improve eyesight, not just might.
Yeah do provide data and numbers. I was just saying its a risk on lasik and you can improve it naturally w/o risking.

LOL. Means still shortsighted only at 50 etc la? I said can improve, and cured MEANS 0. Can improve till 50 so why not? sif got anyone is t 0 mark.

Just to let u know I'm not a medical student but I'm also studying something slightly related. And I know you're just only 17 laugh.gif
Good luck in SPM.

Funny. If it's so easy. Contacts lens manufacturer and Lasik surgeon wouldn't exist at all.

It's all in the gene, some people get short-sighted as a newborns while others have absolutely perfect eyesight.
Nobody win again gene. Not even god.
You mention that you heard from your teacher hi/her eyesight is fixed by eating carrot, looking at greenish stuff blah blah.
Well, you know what, I also heard that praying to God cure the cancer, blindness blah blah blah...  Phailed

Now if you unfortunately caught a cancer, would you do some funny prayers in the church along with these delusional minds or you rather do radiation and surgery with reputable doctors?

A big big FACE PALM for you too    doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif
Funny.

People wants the easy way out don't you understand? Plus DO NOT include religion in this debate.
Its proven dude, why argue?

YOU include God and trashing religion cuz YOU can't debate the fact. It IS proven. And about the cancer thingy, I forgot which thread said that western meds are bad. Go dig. BIG FACEPALM to you, immature kid, go to bed, its way past your bedtime now smile.gif
