Eye laziness and Lasak operation Is it possible to perform LASIK with lazy eye? In this article, we want to check the answer to this question. Stay with us. Amblyopia or lazy eye causes vision loss in one or both eyes. Because the eyes and the brain do not work together properly. The affected eye usually looks normal, but the pathways that connect the eye to the brain are not well developed. As a result, the lazy eye is not normally used and the visual part of the brain prefers the other eye. The eye that is not used becomes amblyopia. This condition is usually seen in 2-3% of children and the best time to treat it is infancy or early childhood. The first and most effective step in treating this complication is teaching the patient to use the weaker eye. It is important to note that before treating lazy eye, underlying eye problems (strabismus or eye deviation, refractive errors, and obstruction of the visual pathway) must be investigated and resolved. In answer to the question raised in this article, it should be said, yes, it is possible to perform LASIK for people who have lazy eyes. But it is necessary to mention that the vision of these people after the LASIK operation will be the same as the vision before the operation with glasses and it is not possible to make the vision completely clear for the lazy eye. Correcting lazy eye with refractive surgery? Typically, performing LASIK and other refractive error laser surgeries including Femto LASIK, Femto Smile, LASIK, PRK and TransPRK cannot help correct lazy eye. But there may be an exception and that is in people with anisometropia. Anisometropia refers to the difference between the refractive error of the two eyes. Anisometropia is one of the main causes of amblyopia. An eye that has more refractive error will suffer from eye laziness over time. The correction of anisometropic refraction is associated with problems such as the difference in the size of the images in the two retinas and the imbalance of eye movements due to the difference in the prismatic power of the medium of the two correcting lenses. It is usually very inconvenient for these people to wear glasses in this situation. Because the unequal magnification caused by the different powers of the eyeglass lenses can cause nausea. Because contact lenses are placed directly on the surface of the eye, different contact lens powers in the two eyes do not cause the magnification problems associated with unequal powers of spectacle lenses. Therefore, contact lenses are usually a better and more suitable option than glasses for these people. If a person with anisometropia cannot use contact lenses successfully or does not feel comfortable wearing them, sometimes LASIK surgery or intraocular lens implantation in childhood may be the best way to correct non-uniform refractive errors to prevent lazy eye. At older ages, LASIK surgery or intraocular lens implantation cannot cure lazy eye. In a person who has acceptable vision in the lazy eye, due to the impossibility of using glasses with different numbers between the two eyes, LASIK surgery or intraocular lens implantation can give the eye suffering from lazy eye proper vision without glasses. ### Last point: Anyone suffering from severe lazy eye (vision 10.2), any refractive surgery including Femto LASIK, Femto Smile, LASIK, PRK, Trans PRK and intraocular lens implantation for healthy eyes and those with lazy eye is prohibited. The best consultation and diagnosis is achieved when you undergo the necessary examination and tests in person so that the treating doctor can suggest the best treatment process. **Read more:** **All About** **Refractive Defect Surgery**
