Laser Eye Surgery in the future?

I’m wondering what laser eye surgery could be like in several years. U am 15 tight now and I’m thinking, if I decide to have an operation done, it will be in about 7 or 8 years, maybe more. Will the science of the surgery be improved a lot? Will the risks be down? I have heard both positive and negative reviews of it. I have around -2 to -3, I believe, with the left eye slightly worse than the right. I hope that in 8 or more years, they will have improved a lot on eye surgery, and it won’t be so risky.
It will be better and safer in the future.
I am 13 and have terrible vision too! Haha I am in the same boat as you
I am afraid to get the surgery, not as much because of the safety risks, but because I’m just freaked out that they will be poking around my eye while I’m sitting there awake. That scares me! But I’m a wimp anyways…
I believe that the risks are already very slim for something to go wrong, but in a few years there will probably virtually none
There may be changes in technique, but not likely major changes in technology. The process for laser approval in the US is long and there is nothing coming through that process at this time.
Techniques change much more rapidly because they rely innovative uses of existing technology by doctors and technicians. Fortunately, innovation does not require government approval.
