Hello doctor! I work on computer all the day due to that my eye sight is affecting too much. Now I use spectacles of power -4.5 for both eyes. I want to go for lasik laser treatment. I want to know after lasik laser will my eye sight decrease due to working on computer/screen or not because I usually spend 10 to 12 hours on screen. Thank you!

Hello. First of all, -4.5 dioptre of refractory error (glasses) do not result from excessive computer work. It is just simple myopia. Yes you can go for lasik or other more advanced similar laser procedures. No need to worry. After surgery eye sight will not be affected due to your longer screen time of 10-12 hours. But you will have some dry eye problem after lasik, so you will have to take more care due to your job profile. Certain drops post surgery along with certain eye exercises, intermittent rest and frequent blinking will help you for the same. You can reach me out anytime for any query relating to surgery and for discussing your concerns in detail. Hope this helps. Thank you.
