What are alternatives of wearing eye glasses for a 26 year old?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Contacts, LASIK: Glasses are nice and give clear vision. But so do contacts and refractive lasik surgery. Discuss alternatives with your ophthalmologist to see if this can correct your degree of refractive needs.

Your options:: There are 3 ways, but chose wisely. Glasses are the easiest, safest and cheapest way. Contact lenses are another way, but they must be taken care of properly and fit properly or you can have poor reactions/infections. Laser vision correction can only fix a certain amount of correction and can have possible side effects/complications. Consult an ophthalmologist to determine candidacy.

Can lazy eye be completely cured? I've heard that lazy eye can't be cured, only improved. Is that true? My 2-year-old son was just diagnosed with it, and his doctor said that as long as he wears his patch and glasses, he should be cured within a few month
