Help. asked:


I think I am going to go blind soon.
About 650+ degrees on each side of my eyes.
I am considering lasik.

I want to know the Risk And Complications of Lasik.
I want to know if I can have lasik after I am blind.
I want to know if I can still have lasik.
I want to know if I can still have near perfect vision…

Crying as I type out all these..
My eyes.

captkirk asked:


Im thinking about it, but would just like to hear some input on it
lasik surgery is that operation that fixes your vision and eliminates the need to glasses or contacts. No hearsay advice please only former patients
my apologies for bad grammar, for all your spelling ***** out there

Max F asked:


I just got news that my dads cousin recently got lasik. The eye structure is okay and there are no physical problems except that he was “over-corrected” by 1.5 diopeters

He said it was a mistake during the original prescription check AND something about the way the eye healed

What exacly does this mean and is he going to be okay??

Shaq iz Phat asked:


I am trying to convince a family member to get LASIK because I believe it is the best gift one can give oneself.

I had mine done over 6 years ago and have had no complications. I do get blurry vision (20/25) when overcast and a little halos at night but nothing serious.

Not bad for $998 for BOTH eyes!
To the person who said since I have blurry vision (20/25) I shouldn’t brag….. um 20/20 is perfect vision… 20/25 is slightly blurrier. All you need is 20/30 to pass DMV’s vision test. So yeah I’m gonna brag because I had 20/500 with astigmatism prior to the surgery.

I couldn’t wear contacts because my eyes would turn bloodshot red and halos at night were far worse.

As for glasses, I had to pay $500 every year because the glasses were so thick I had to get the slimmest ones. And a day I get fitted my vision would immediately get worse.

After six year, my vision remains unchanged and I have never needed glasses!

I am soooooo happy I don’t need to put the newspaper 2 inches from my face to read it!

Springboard asked:


Hi there, I had LASIK done less than 6 months ago and my power has come back from perfect 20/20 to 50! And now I’m worried…will my eyesight deteriorate further, I mean faster than anyone without LASIK out there? I even read about complications that scare me to depression now. I need help, my doctor said I need touch-up. I don’t want touch-ups! I just want to correct my eyesight now with just a pair of glasses. Will that be helpful? Please, I’m drowning myself with this and it devastates me.

Sarko asked:


i am 15 years old, my eyesight is not that bad, i can play sports without glasses, i only use it for reading,watching TV and if i ever drive. i was planning on getting Lasik in the Future.

i saw stories in the news and on the web of complications, like jermaine dupri getting blind,tiger woods having post lasik problems and a pilot who won a $4 mil. dollar lawsuit because he lost his job due to LASIK complications.

DO YOU GUYS THINK BY THE TIME I AM 25 THERE WILL BE A SAFER CURE TO NEARSIGHTEDNESS? i would never risk my eyesight, i am waiting for something better than LASIK.

thanks.

My friend had LASIK a year ago and the one complication he’s had is red eyes, I assume, because they’re dry. I was wondering what other users who have undergone the treatment have experienced.
