Is it safe for me to undergo LVC (laser vision correction)? Any testimonials...opinions, suggestions...?
Question:
Answer:
I had the surgery done a year ago now and couldn't be happier. I resisted doing it for a number of years just because it was so new a technology relatively speaking. I studied all the potential side effects and all I could about the surgery before finally deciding the reward out-weighed the risk. I paid approximately $800 per eye for the mid-range level surgery. I couldn't do the cheaper option due to my astigmatism. The surgery itself was painless, though the ring they use to keep your eye open during the procedure was uncomfortable. My payment covered check-ups for a year and a lifetime of redo's should they be needed. I do need to go back to have it done again as it didn't take on my left eye and it's degenerated again. As far as downside to the surgery, I have lost some of my night vision abilities and I struggle to see clearly around dusk. I knew about those risks ahead of time though and being able to wake up and see without fumbling for my glasses is a wonderful thing.
yes. the chances are very thin for unsucessful. i sugest that you take it.
yes it is safe and i recommend this surgery to you becasue it works great and you will thank yourself when you walk out the door.
I highly recommend it. I am thinking about getting it myself though...there is always the slight chance something could go wrong but I think the risk is worth it considering that you won't have to worry about contacts rolling back in your eye, or your glasses breaking. Just make sure to research your dr. background and make sure you trust him/her.
There is no down side. If you go to Montreal, Canada and have Dr Coen of LASIK do your procedure. He has done thousands and knows all the complications that could arise. There is a corneal transplant facility in the same office.
You must be near sighted. The procedure takes material off, as a result, you can focus better. I now have 20/20 in each eye. It's truely amazing!
