Hi, I went to see an eye doctor last week because one of my eye is weaker than the other and smaller than the other. I wear glasses and with or without glasses has become lots of trouble for me and my doctor recommeneded lasik surgery. I might be having the surgery for it which is good of course.
I want to call in and ask my doctor something but sounds a bit strange for me to ask him something which is if I tell him "since my eye is smaller than other and if for example the eye comes forward, would my vision improve in anyway"? This is my question to the doctor and when I said this to my mother she said is weird. I don't know how this is weird is just a question I'm really curious about. I'm thinking maybe it's something that can help. What do you think, should I ask this to my eye doctor by calling in? Please let me know soon.
Thanks,
Melissa

Hi Melissa6666,
Yes, Like in any surgery,I do feel it's best to talk to your doctor or surgeon about any concerns you might have regarding the procedure.
Best,

Thanks for your reply. So since you mention this to me you still think I should say this to my doctor by asking if the eye comes forward improves vision? Please let me know.

Hi Melissa6666,
Thanks for your question. For many people, laser eye surgery can correct their vision so they no longer need glasses or contact lenses. Laser eye surgery reshapes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. This procedure utilizes a highly specialized laser (excimer laser) designed to treat refractive errors. Like in any surgery,I do feel it's best to talk to your doctor or surgeon about any concerns you might have regarding the procedure.
Best,
Daisy
