Hello! I suffer from myopia for many years. I am really tired of wearing glasses and I would be very happy if I could get rid of them. I read some medicine articles in which I found that myopia can be completely eliminated by laser surgery. My mother says it is not possible and she thinks the effects of laser surgery go away in time. Can you eliminate myopia completely?

Myopia almost always advances to a certain point and then stops changing.
