Question: Won't LASIK surgery (refractive surgery) solve everything once my child is an adult?
Myopia Control Glasses
Answer: This is the biggest misconception. LASIK only "etches" a contact lens onto the cornea. It changes your prescription but does not change the stretched, thin, and fragile underlying structure of the elongated eyeball. Even if you see clearly after surgery, you still possess a "Highly Myopic Eye," and your risk of retinal detachment remains for life.
