Question for people that had Lasik Surgery...?
Question:
Answer:
A lot of people get LASIK eye surgery as it corrects their vision and improves their lives tremendously. The LASIK procedure corrects myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism so that you won't need to wear contact lenses or eyeglasses again.
But since LASIK is an expensive procedure in the US, many people these days opt to travel overseas for their treatment. You can get your eye surgery/treatment done in India/Singapore/Thailand and even Mexico for much less than in the US. In the US it's upwards of 3000 bucks per eye. Compare it with 500 bucks in India. You end up saving 50% or more even after your travel expenses and hospital stay have been paid for.
However, you need to be careful about the quality of hospitals there. You must make sure that they are JCI/JCAHO/ISO accredited, which means that the hospitals meet US standards and the service provided is world-class.
One such medical tourism facilitator that works only with quality hospitals abroad is Healthbase (http://www.healthbase.com). You can research about the various medical procedures, communicate with the surgeons overseas, apply for medical loans, plan and book your travel all at their website.
My father had the oporation about half of year ago. He said at first it made his eye sight worse. But after a couple weeks, it improved a little, but not alot. It is NOT worth the money.
My whife has one! its great, she is very satisfied - it was like 9 months ago. And thrully, she wearing glasses only when its too bright :)
PS: she's below 30 ! it may count.
I had my eyes done just over 2 years ago...it was the best thing i ever did... they give you a sedative after your eyes are done so that you sleep ( helps with healing) the next morning i was perfect. i now have 20/15 vision in both eyes.. I cant wait for my daughter to be old enough to have it done... Your the right age to have it done good luck.
