Lasik Eye Surgery

I've thought about it. My vision is fine up close, but starts to get bad 2-3 metres away. Have glasses which I wear sometimes for things I need like driving. Still, I've heard the horror stories and they made me slightly paranoid.

Me too. I hope Andrei's eyesight are perfectly fine.

my mom had it recently done and she has like 20 20 vision or so now so i think it worked good.

Cool

My dad had it done like 10-15 years ago when it had just come out. It seems to have worked really well for him. It's only $1000 an eye here I believe.

[QUOTE=Lebron23]I just went to the Doctor yesterday. He told me that I am eligible for a PRK Eye Surgery. I am planning to have this surgery next month.[/QUOTE]
my wife had prk, took her forever to heal from and she never got her vision as clear as mine when i did lasik

Thanks for the info. I want to have a 20/20 or 20/15 vision.

I had radial keratotomy done with a diamond cutter back in 1994, and couldn't be more pleased with the $2500 I spent. At first, it was hard to get used to the starburst effect, especially when driving at night. It took a couple of months to get over that, but since then everything has been cool.

My left eye has slipped in acuity a bit, but not to the point where I need glasses again.

I want to get this shit done eventually but I've heard it's best to wait until after college because of the eye-strain you get from reading textbooks and what not. Dry eye would be a bitch, though.

How much does it costs in California?

Do you guys wear shades after the Lasik Surgery? How many days?

Had it, much better but not 20/20 and not sure if I would do it over again... hate the halos and dry eyes (sometimes you open your eyes in the morning and it feels like your eyelids are tearing the front of your eyeballs off.

Thanks for the info. I really need a perfect vision when I go back to Law School next month.

The only school you've ever been to was pilipino [B]a[/B]nal intake school for homeless ladyboys. You won't really need perfect vision at the sweatshop either. And it's plain to see you're a total retard, even with bad eyesight.

Finally getting it done this Tuesday (I'm OP). $4200. Saved up 2100 and finance the rest over 24 months.

Nervous but excited

No more glasses or contacts yo! Good luck my friend!

Good luck and congrats! A lot of people aren't even eligible to get the surgery even if they wanted, consider yourself lucky hehe.

I can see!

Yo SP, what was your prescription before? I'm only -1.5 I'm wondering if it's worth getting done. I mean I'd love to, but it's definitely over $5k here and I don't think there is any subsidy at all here.

I was -2.25 or -2.75......I forget

Ok, so quite strong. I'll do some more research :cheers:

My cousin getting it. Not sure when but she had glasses for few years already.

I hate wearing contact lenses. I cannot swim while using it, and I removed my lenses before I went to the pool.

The amount of times LB23 has been ethered on this forum :roll:

How's your eyesight now OP?!!

[QUOTE=Lebron23]How's your eyesight right now?[/QUOTE]


I see you asked this in 2012.

I had the surgery in 2010 and I must say, 5 years later, my eyesight is still perfect.

[QUOTE=LJJ]All I know is that my friend who is an educated optician (but not in that business) greatly discourages it.

Apparently your vision can never be corrected as good as with glasses/lenses through surgery, it's a temporary fix only and there is always the chance something goes wrong.[/QUOTE]


that's sort of my fear about it.

especially when it comes to living life in the 50's 60's.



but I've been called a "fakkit" "p*ssy" by all



behold the "Messiah" Complex

Planning to have a lasik surgery this year. I've been wearing contact lens since 2013. I still need to get my eye floaters laser.

Eye floaters are tiny microscopic blood clots inside your eye balls, they'll still be there after your lasik surgery, they are totally harmless albeit annoying and totally normal.

That's horrible if it does block your vision partially

[QUOTE=Axe;14263389]That's horrible if it does block your vision partially[/QUOTE]

It's only a few of them. The doctor said that my eye floaters might increase if I have lasik. They have a machine called laser vitreolysis which zap the floaters from my eyes.

Will get it someday. Apparently you can't wait too long. They don't want old people to get it, I think.

Planning to get Lasik. This Coming June.

[QUOTE=rezznor;6460802]i went from being practically blind (-5.25 with -1.25 astigmatism) to seeing 20/15. the wife had similar results. our doctor was named one of the top 10 in ophthalmology magazine. his regular price is $4000 but we got it done for $2400[/QUOTE]

I am still thinking about getting it. I saved $100,000 pesos aka $2000 dollars for lasik surgery.

Get surgery in a 3rd world country…….:roll:
