Reading Glasses vs. LASIK

The ultimate goal of everybody with vision problems is to see better with the least amount of inconvenience to them. Traditionally, the only option for most people are cumbersome eyeglasses that are constantly being misplaced, going out of style, or simply getting in the way of normal everyday activity. In the first decade of the 21st Century, our options are becoming almost limitless. Millions of people are giving up on reading glasses and taking advantage of lasers with procedures like Custom LASIK surgery, or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis.

There are many advantages to using reading glasses, they are portable, and you can put them on or remove them as needed. Reading glasses perform their job well. They allow you to see things at close range, and are good for activities like sewing, reading, model building, or anything involving your near vision. As you age, your ability to focus on things nearby worsens, a condition called presbyopia. They are less convenient when you find yourself switching glasses for near and distance vision, or having to change magnifying strength or even your prescription frequently. A major tipping point leading people to finally elect LASIK is when they have to switch to progressive lenses.

There are numerous types of laser refractive surgery from which to chose, including photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), LASIK, and Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy (LASEK). Since both reading glasses and LASIK help improve vision, there must be a point at which people decide to undergo the procedure and put away their reading glasses. The choice between convenience and the expense of the surgery is one of the main considerations people must make when deciding on surgery.

Some studies indicate that when you add up the total cost of your ophthalmologist visits, the price of your glasses and frames, prescription sunglasses and all the sundry accessories that go with wearing glasses, you could pay for a laser refractive surgery in approximately three years. The cost and inconvenience of wearing and maintaining contact lenses is even greater.

Approximately one million people per year elect to undergo LASIK vision correction in the hope that they will have permanent vision correction. Anywhere from 54 to 84 percent of people experience satisfactory results, depending on which studies you read. A high number of patients have their vision corrected to 20/40 vision, which is good enough to pass most drivers' license exams, and many are corrected to 20/20 vision.

Like all surgical procedures, LASIK and other laser refractive surgeries have certain risks and complications. The majority of people who are dissatisfied with their LASIK results went into the procedure with unrealistic expectations and actually experience good vision correction. A few people experience problems with night vision issues, infection, or improperly healed corneal flaps, but the percentages are small and can be greatly reduced by finding a highly qualified laser vision surgeon in your area.

If you are tired of your reading glasses and are looking for a permanent vision correction option, don't let the cost of the procedure hold you back. The procedure can pay for itself in just a few years. Many vision centers offer other financing options that can help you spread out the payments. While most insurance companies do not cover laser vision correction, many companies offer cafeteria plans with medical savings accounts that can be used to defray some, if not all of the costs. It is important to find an experienced laser vision specialist who is qualified to use the latest laser technology.

How does one construct an laser mirror? or a laser magnifying glass?

I envison a plane connected by laser beams on a plane emitting a grid of laser beams ...a virtual mirror, as it were, more perfect in pixiality than a physical mirror, and more reflective and which could be more magnifying in opaqueness than any glass mirror if it's convexity was also designed into this mirror?
Biofreak, what if there were colored laser projections that formed a background, so that there was a silvery reflective color to the laser mirror, just like there is in a real mirror? Isn't this about shading?

Yeah, so this question makes no sense. You should explain your vision more clearly. But I can tell you this, laser don't reflect light. Lasers are light. Light is electromagnetic fields. Electromagnetic fields are what is called "linear" which means the sum of field A and field B is A+B. This is a fancy way of saying the first field does not care if the second field is there or not (on the contrary, if it were not linear, like if a and b equaled a*b or something like that, then a would care about b). Since A does not care about B, then A will go on it's merry way after it passes B. That is to say a light beam will pass right through another light beam as if it wasn't there (have you ever crossed two flashlight beam? Well, 2 lasers do the same thing). So if it passes through, then it isn't reflecting. And a mirror requires reflection. Therefore, lasers will not make mirrors.
