Laser Vision Correction?
Question:
Answer:
you have very good answers , but my opinion is to wait for a while like 2 years, we r having wonderful developments in the refractive field so wait
I had laser vision correction, and no 'bad' experience. Unless you consider a waste of money bad. My eyes have healed right back to the way they were before the expensive surgery in about 3 years. If you get the surgery, go with a clinic that offers a lifetime guarantee, and will perform the future corrections at the same location that you get the original surgery. If anyone wants you to leave the country for the surgery or the corrections, it is not safe, and a scam.
Although I have heard nothing but praise for the newer proceedure. There are always risks. These would be explained to you prior to the proceedure. But include things like infection, worse vision etc. However, I did just read something on it that said that with enough time, the surgery may in fact cause blindness. But the article wasn't complete and didn't present any "facts", so it may have been wrong. 2 of my brothers have had the surgery, one had 20-400 vision prior to and 20-10 vision afterwords. That was 10 years ago, and he is still very happy. The other brother had better vision to start, but still needed glasses, he now has 20-20 vision. You are doing the right thing, ask lot's of questions before any type of proceedure. Talk to eye docs that don't offer the surgery for their opinion. Ask your regular MD what he thinks, and form your own opinion.
Good luck
i had Lasiks and no bad experience here. It was great. No regrets. Procedure only took about 10 min or less. Now i see perfectly.
You have to be over age 18 and have a stable rx for at least 1 year.
I work for an Ophthalmologist and we have had no bad cases. There have been 1 case where the patient was more sensitive to a little pain and her contact lense bandage came out and had to come in for an emergency to get a new one. Otherwise. EVERY case has been successful to some degree. Some people have had 15 years of no glasses. Some a couple of years and then just readers. We have some info on our website. You can also call your local eye doctor and ask questions. If they don't have someone that can answer your questions DON'T GO THERE. Find a doctor with experience and ask questions. They usually will answer questions for free and may even give you an evaluation for free or a small fee. That would help you know if you are a likely canidate. Several of our employees have had it done and they are very happy as well.
It depends on your age. If you are under 22 don't bother. Your eyes haven't stopped changing. If you are over 22 and have a script of 3 diopters per eye or more go for it. If you don't need that much correction then it really is better to stay with contact lenses or glasses.
