What is cosmetic eye surgery?

Hi yahoo answers give me the definitions for cosmetic eye surgery...Please help me out so that it is useful when i do eye surgeryWhat is cosmetic eye surgery?
Blepharoplasty or in common language eyelid surgery help one to shrink the puffiness under the eyelids and also the removes the skin under the upper eyelid. As you age, you start developing wrinkles and the skin look extremely dull over the eyes making the aging process an unpleasant one. You can overcome this stage with a cosmetic eye surgery where the extra skin, muscle and fatty tissues under the eyelids are removed...What is cosmetic eye surgery?
I advise you NOT to get eye surgery. It WON'T give you 20/20 vision.





If you can't see far away they will burn your eyes so you can see far but it will destroy your close vision and you will need glasses to read/see up close.


If you can't see close up they will burn your eyes so you can see up close but it will destroy your far vision so you will need glasses to see far.


Or they give you ';mono vision'; where they burn one eye for far (you won't be able to see up close in that eye) and they burn the other eye for up close (you won't be able to see far in that eye).


Its a BAD idea.
To Anon: I'm not sure which of you I find most offensive : the surgeon for having treated a patient who clearly didn't know anything about laser correction or you for the rubbish that you have spouted:





''I advise you NOT to get eye surgery. It WON'T give you 20/20 vision.''





Laser vision correction is intended to replace your visual aids, in other words the Visual Acuity after treatment should be the same as before. For people who can see better than 20/20, ie: 20/16, we're aiming for 20/16. I'd put money on the fact that if your mom could see 20/20 prior to treatment with her glasses on then she still can without them.





''If you can't see far away they will burn your eyes so you can see far but it will destroy your close vision and you will need glasses to read/see up close.''





Excimer lasers are cold beams that ablate tissue, they do not ''burn'' your corneas. You can't have it both ways once you get old. Near vision is impaired in every human being (normally from age 38+), it is part of the ageing process - presbyopia.





''If you can't see close up they will burn your eyes so you can see up close but it will destroy your far vision so you will need glasses to see far.''





Bollocks, the major American laser manufacturer (VISX) hasn't even been approved to perform customised Monovision treatments yet - no manufacturer is approved to treat Bilateral Presbyopia at the expense of your distance vision. What orifice have you pulled that statement out of?





''Or they give you ';mono vision'; where they burn one eye for far (you won't be able to see up close in that eye) and they burn the other eye for up close (you won't be able to see far in that eye).''





No-one walks around looking out of one eye for distance and one for near when required. Bilateral vision - you ever wondered why you you don't ''see'' the blind spots made on your retina by the optic nerve? Your brain makes it up - your brain is what synthesises the activity perceived by your eye. You are also aware I imagine of the fact that your brain has to invert what you see - your eyes see the world upside down - so what difference would near and distance prescriptions on your eyes make? Educate yourself, same principles apply to eye dominance and perception : http://www.basc.org.uk/en/how-to/shootin鈥?/a>





''Source(s):


My poor mom got lasiks so she could see far away and now her close up vision is so bad she has to wear glasses to eat because her food is blurry.''





So? You're telling us that she wasn't aware that this would be the case prior to having treatment? Would have been the first part of the surgical consent because of this type of rubbish which we see so often after treatment. You lot are better off sticking to varifocal contact lenses, a set of distance glasses, driving glasses and three sets of readers...
