Pi in eye

After Lasik the vision may change and worsen, as the natural lens
undergoes changes. A person would require changing glasses to see
better at the particular distance the vision gets altered. Finally after
Lasik when one develops cataracts, they would require cataract
surgery. Prelex prevents the fluctuation in vision and development of
cataracts by removing the dysfunctional natural lens.
Lasik cannot be performed in high hyperopes or farsighted people
more than 6 diopters. These numbers are not even approved by FDA.
Similarly people with extreme nearsightedness, above ten diopters are
not candidates for Lasik. In these situations Prelex triumphs over
Lasik.
In certain situations Lasik may not even be worth to consider.
Let’s say a 47 year old low myope with prescription -1.5 D glasses for
distances has Lasik. He will need reading glasses after Lasik.
Therefore he will be just exchanging glasses.

Is Pi in eye possible After Lasik?

Pi in eye can still be performed after a patient has already had
Lasik. The accuracy of calculations for the required implant decreases
in these cases. After Prelex procedure the flap may accumulate fluid
and delay healing. A small optical zone created by the laser may
interfere with the functioning of the implant. Of course, most patients
are very happy to have Prelex after Lasik. They wore glasses in their
youth and Lasik freed them from the glasses. Having to wear glasses is
very frustrating for them.
In summary, pi in eye is more advantageous than Lasik for people
above 45 and surely for those above 55. Thus, Pi in eye has been
termed as Lasik++.
