Chris asks…

lasik procedure?

I wanted to know how safe lasik eye surgery is...I would love to live without contacts, but the surgery always maked me worried that I'll go blind. How often does that happen?

You'll be fine!

You needn't fear! You're not one of the Wright Brothers blazing a new trail into the skies! Plenty of people have had the SAME procedure done to them with no side effects!

Ask your mom to forgive me, but you won't be anything special! *laughter*

Linda asks…

Lasik procedure....?

I am thinking of getting lasik surgery done. My distance vision is very good. I am tired of using reading glasses. What has been your experience? It seems I get different opinions and recommendations with each doctor I visit. I am very nervous about this and very confused....please help.
Lisa G: I live in Chongqing, China. The cost here is VERY inexpensive (400USD for both eyes) and there are many people who have the procedure done, I guess I am just very nervous about having it done here.

Good idea to ask questions on this.. I had mine done 2 years ago back in August, and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

It is very very good to do research on the procedure, to make sure it will fit in with your lifestyle, as compared to PRK. Also make sure the doctor you go to has a good reputation and is not one high on the lawsuit list ... I am not sure where you live, but I am in Albuquerque NM and it was worth the 8 hour drive for me to go to Denver CO, the overall reputation was better, cost was better and I am not regretting having it done at all!!!

Good Luck... Just remember, to research the doc you would have doing it.

Nancy asks…

If I didn't stop wearing contact lenses a week before doing Lasik, will the Lasik procedure be less effective?

I was told not to wear my contact lenses for a whole week prior to the operation, but it completely slipped my mind. My Lasik appointment is in a few days time. Is it a bad idea to go ahead with the procedure?

admin answers:

Call the Lasik place and ask - no since wasting your and their time if procedure can't be done that day.
PS: 'hide' your contacts in a dif spot so you won't automatically put them on.

James asks…

What is the best LASIK procedure known?

I am 19 i play water polo and am very near sighted. I wear contacts to see. Ive checked into LASIK but the way I see it is you're vision is the most important tool you have and I don't want to spare any expense. I am looking to get 20/10 vision because I want my sight the best possible so any information would be appreciated.

Thanks so much! <3.

I did it 5 years ago with diamond vision in NJ. I paid $4000 for the Lasik. It was definitely worth it for me. My contact lenses got to be irritating. The surgery took 5 minutes top. Oh and make sure you take enough vicodin, I sure didn't. I had pain all night. It felt like a finger was pressing against my eyeballs. I couldn't go to sleep. The next day I woke up and saw clear in the center the sides was still blurry. However, the next two days it got clear all the way through. The halo around street night lights took only 1 week to clear. All in all it was definitely worth it. Everytime, I see someone who has contact I am glad I went through with the surgery.
