Anyone had lasik eye surgery done?

Has anyone had lasik eye surgery done?

I'm thinking of getting it done but I want to hear about others people's experiences and thoughts about it. Is it worth the price and risk?

LASIK eye surgery is generally considered to be a safe and effective method of treating near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism and millions of people undergo this procedure every year throughout the world.
No surgery is without risks or complications, however, and this must be understood and accepted before making the decision.
The most common side effects of LASIK eye surgery are dry eyes and glare. The incidence of these are debated between proponents and opponents of the surgery. The FDA considers the risks to be low enough to approve the technology required for LASIK (microkeratomes, excimer lasers, etc.)
Safety can be increased by selecting a skilled surgeon using the best technology. Studies show that experience is one of the most important factors in selecting a surgeon.

 

There is a really good San Diego Lasik website that has lots of info and some very informative Lasik articles. See the links below:

I had great success with the surgery and would recommend it to anyone. I had really bad vision though so it was worth it to me to go through the discomfort of the surgery. I had found a question here on yedda a little while back that helped me make the decision for myself.

Check it out. I hope this helps.

Hi guys for almost 10 years I suffered 

Astigmatisim and it’s been a killer to me esp. for  the  things that  I do everyday. And earlier as I was surfing over the net about Lasik thing I saw an important information about how to determine if you’re a Lasik candidate or not and since im planning to undergo Lasik sooner or later this year I want to share this information to you all because I know that it can be helpful to some people who also have the same concern like mine. Anyway, there are three questions you can ask yourself before moving forward first, are you over 18? Second, have you had stable vision for the past year? And third, is your goal to see clearly without glasses or contacts?  I took this information from my2020. Hope it helps you in a little way.

Your creative mind is your ticket to greatnesss. 

Read this article just issued by the FDA. They sent a letter to doctors requesting that they tell patients about risks associated with Lasik eye surgery after receiving numerous complaints from consumers who experienced double and fuzzy vision and painful dry eyes after getting the procedure.
