I have myopia with minus one power in my right eye and I've been hearing about laser eye surgery. Can myopia really be completely corrected with this procedure? If yes, what age would you recommend for getting it done and what's the success rate like? Also, since I've heard myopia can be hereditary, how can I prevent it from affecting my child?
