Both the Tecnis 1 monofocal lens and others like the AcrySof Natural are great choices. Tecnis 1 offers excellent clarity and contrast, but the choice depends on your specific needs (like astigmatism). Discuss with your ophthalmologist the best lens for your lifestyle and visual needs.

Question

I'm 22 with -3 power in both eyes and considering LASIK surgery but worried about side effects or risks what should I know before deciding

I have farsightedness with a prescription of 7.5. Are there any non-surgical ways to improve it or at least make it a bit better? I'm curious if glasses or lifestyle changes could help reduce the severity over time

Question

I've had 3.5 distance vision for the past three years and wear glasses regularly. Lately, I've been seeing a lot about eye surgeries to get rid of glasses and contacts. I went to a well-known hospital for a consultation, and after some tests, the doctor said I'm eligible for LASIK surgery. They mentioned I could live glasses and contact lens-free after the procedure. But I'm a bit worried is LASIK really safe? Once it's done, will I actually be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts?
