An expert has admitted that even with laser eye surgery, many people will need to wear glasses or contact lens afterwards.

Although it can be a great option, it is important to bear in mind that the eye can easily regress, as former Spice Girl Mel B found out when she thought she was going blind while rehearsing to present the MOBO awards.

Dr John Santa of Consumer Reports Health, told Wisn.com that people needed to be realistic in their expectations of laser eye surgery.

"50 per cent of the people in our survey will need to wear glasses or contacts at least some of the time after surgery," he said.

However, for anyone looking for a great alternative to laser eye surgery, ortho k lenses could be the answer.

Laura Nagy, noted in the article, said that she wanted to get the surgery so she could go skiing and scuba diving.

Although laser surgery is one option, ortho k lenses would mean that she could engage in such activity without the need for any invasive surgery and could go about her day without worrying about her eyesight.
