A member asked:
Is laser operation for low vision of eyes is safe and effective ? is it completely cures the low vision problem ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not totally effectiv: Laser is used to provide a correction equal to the best that eyeglasses can provide. It cannot cure low vision if eyeglasses cannot correct the low vision. Lasik is safe and effective but cannot treat this problem.
