It sounds like you are referring to the two conditions:
- nearsightedness (myopia)
- farsightedness (hyperopia)
And you want to know the best treatment options for nearsightedness, as well as why it is recommended that you have LASIK to repair your myopia?

LASIK/LASEK may a better option for patients who have milder forms of myopia, but you can read the many different options for treatment at: Nearsightedness and Farsightedness. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this page, as you will find Additional Resources to the American Academy of Ophthalmology and other credible sources of information.

If you would like more information: Options for Myopia.

Does this answer your question?
