What's your opinion on Lasik Surgery?

hi, My aunt had the surgery and I know one other person who's had the surgery. I want to have it, but don't have the guts to. I may be the wrong person to answer your post... I am just afraid I will be the 1% they screw up on and lose my bad eyesight to blindness forever. Talk about negative! Both the people were thrilled with their surgery. One doesn't have to wear glasses or contacts now. The other has reading glasses, where she didn't before. But even she is happier with just wearing reading glasses than needing to wear them all the time. I always said I would get it done when they perfected the surgery. I'd say they probably have and I'm still chicken. I have another question for you to ponder. Does wearing eye corrections make your prescription worse? B/c I used to be able to see a lot farther away than I can now, and I'm nearsighted. Now it seems like if it isn't right up in my face (and I'm not wearing my contacts or glasses) I can't see it. So are my eyes getting worse or am I just dependent on my eyewear? Do you wear contacts? I think that would help with the surgery but it hasn't for me. I guess sticking your fingers on your eyes is a lot diff. than a laser. lol Hope this helped a lil. B

Hi dayzz! I haven't had Lasik, but I have been recently considering it. I have spoken to a few friends and co-workers who have had this, and they are all very happy! I didn't ask about pain or discomfort, but none of them mentioned any... It has only encouraged me more to have the surgery. It sure sounds like it's worth the money! I'm anxious to hear how it all goes for you! When is your surgery scheduled? If I hear any more about any of my friends' experiences, I'll try to get back here to post.

I think it is a great boon for the ones who has to wear that cumbersome glasses always.Many friends have undergone lasik and are fine now.Even my nephew of 21 years old got it done and has no complaints so far.

I have considered it butwas told since I only need reading glasses that it may not help. I wish you the best of luck and I hope it don't hurt. See better in the future!

This really is a personal thing. But the way the medcial feild is now. What is the thing to say in 20 years? Look how many have had it done. have you spoke with any of them. It's really hard to replace on eye??? This is cutting the eye it's self. Were the proof it works. and on who. Everyone id differnt. Good Luck. Hope you do well for you. Maybe do one eye and see how it does. Well they let you do that? Just like those shots for young girl so they well not get cancel. 10 years down the road will it make them striod?? No one knows they haven't tested it that far down the road.

i wish I had it but I'm too chicken.I would love to be able to see better and not have to wear glasses.

I hope you will post how it turns out. I have terrible eye site and use glasses or contacts all the time. I have heard good and bad stories about this surgery. I had a friend that said there was no pain and he did not have any problems. He can see pretty good now. However, he is a person who has tatoos on 50 percent of his body and seems to like pain. I on the other hand am a chicken. Feathers and all. I even have to be put to sleep to have my teeth cleaned that is how chicken I am. I understand that during this surgery you are awake for the whole thing sounds scary to me. I have heard that when it is over your eyes feel gritty. I have not had the surgery so I do not know for sure. I also do not know how any one can stare at a light for so many hours. I guess they are going to prop your eyes open some how. It is not natural to stare for hours without blinking. I do not think I am ready to try this yet but you never know the mood could hit me. I wish you all the luck in the world with yours. I hope you can see perfect when they are done and you have no pain. Good luck.

I just came to see if there was any news....

Lasik Surgery7 I think for me it is scary because what if something went wrong and you cant have your eyesight back.. I rather use a corrective glasses. or reading glasses..just to be sure.
