Questions About Lasik Side Effects

Sandy asks…

What are the side effects of Lasik?

admin answers:

The only thing I experienced was halos around lights at night. That was expected but eventually disappeared. Whatever you do, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions to the letter to avoid any complicatons.

Helen asks…

I just has lasik and everything went great, are there any side effects down the road anyone has experience?

I had lasik aweek ago and all is fine so far, does anyone know if there are any side effects down the road?

admin answers:

There are relatively rare instances of late onset complications, but the possibility of something happening is not the same as the probability of something happening. The fact that your surgery has been uneventful is a strong indication that it will continue to be uneventful.

You will want to remember that once you have had Lasik, you have always have had Lasik. Even though the eye heals, it is always different. Damage from severe trauma to the eye can be exacerbated by Lasik. Be diligent in the care of your eyes and don’t forget to tell new eye doctors that you had Lasik. Their evaluation and examination may be slightly different to check that all continues to be okay.

Sharon asks…

Lasik Side Effect Question?

Halo is a side effect at night. Glasses really don't help. I had it done in 1998.

admin answers:

LAsik Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges lasik surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as lasik surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your laser surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
