Im very near sighted. I can hold a book 2 inches away from my face and read it (if i close my right eye that is lol) I have been thinking of lasik.. but scared about it.. I used to get pink eye when i was a kid, over and over.. soon as one eye would heal the other would explode and i have scar tissue from it.. if you shine a bright light in my eye you can see it around the black ring (whats that part called again? ) so i am a little nervous that any sort of cutting on my eye would backfire.. but it sure would be nice to not wear glasses anymore..
LASIK is approved for just about any prescription nowadays. Sure there are risks but statistically speaking the odds are very much in your favor of a desirable outcome. The key is to use an experienced surgeon who has the latest technology.
Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the white part of the eye, due to infection (bacterial or viral), or due to allergies. It doesn't cause an eye to explode nor does it typically result in scarring.
Whatever you got a scar from, it was something unusual, especially if you can see the scar when you transilluminate the Iris. Sometimes scar tissue can be removed or reduced during LASIK.
