Question: If we wait until they are 20, can’t we just do LASIK later to fix everything?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K Lens)
Answer: LASIK only "shaves" the surface to clear vision; it does not fix the stretched, thinned-out eyeball. A person who had -8.00D and gets LASIK still has the "eyes of a high myope" and still carries the same high risk of going blind. You cannot "LASIK" away the risk of retinal detachment.
