[QUOTE="MaryChristine, post: 117474, member: 9482"] As far as I know (and I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :wink: ), laser treatment for retinopathy is not the same as laser treatment for long/short-sightedness. For retinopathy the aim is to seal the leaking blood vessels in the retina (the light-sentitive layer at the back of the eye). For long/short-sightedness, the aim is to alter the shape of the lens in the eye so that it focuses light rays correctly on the retina. So, unfortunately, laser treatment for retinopathy will not cure long/short-sightedness. Apologies if I have accidentally posted this twice! Best wishes MaryChristine [/QUOTE]
