William asks…
I want to go for Lasik eye surgery. I`m 23. Is it ok. Do it has any side effect? Any Good clinic in Delhi?
admin answers:
YOU CAN GO AHEAD WITH THE SURGERY AS YOU ARE 23 YEARS OLD. NO, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS AS OF NOW. MAY OF AFTER 40 YEARS AGE, YOU MAY NEED LENSES FOR READING. NOT SURE, IT DEPENDS ON YOUR BODY SYSTEM AND HERIDITY. GO AHEAD. GOOD LUCK
Jenny asks…
How long has lasik eye surgery been around?
Also, since there is a flap made what happens to your eyes in say 30 or 40 years. Will there be side effects because the eye has been cut into?
admin answers:
It has been around just over 10 years in the US and Canada, but has been around for 20 years in Russia and England.
There have been no long term side effects registered yet.
Aside from those who had to have it redone because the myopia came back....or had to go back to glasses because the surgery couldn't be done a second time for different reasons.
John asks…
LASIK eye surgery, to do or not to do?
I've been thinking hardly about getting my eye sight corrected by LASIK eye surgery, but am really worried about the side effect (if any) and the worst case i've heard, lose of vision. Anybody can share their experience/info/advice with me? Thanks!
admin answers:
I work for a LASIK and cataract surgeon so I feel I can give you some advise.
The majority of complications associated with LASIK surgery involve the process of making the flap on the cornea. In LASIK there are two main methods for making the flap. One is with a devise called a microkeratome, which is basically a blade that is used to cut a flap in the cornea. The other devise is a femtosecond laser called Intralase that is used to make a flap.
It is proven that the Intralase system greatly reduses the accuracy of making the flap and the chances of any significant complications with the surgery.
So the main thing that I would recommend is going with a doctor that uses Intralase rather then a microkeratome. You should be able to find a doctor doing this in most major metropolitan areas.
And also don't settle for the bargain basement LASIK centers. In life, you get what you pay for. And do you really want to buy a surgery that's on sale?
Well good luck on your decision. LASIK is definately not for everyone, but it is amazing for those that qualify for it!
Michael asks…
Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of lasik eye surgery...Is there any one whose had it and your experience.
I've been wearing contacts for about 12 years now and i've noticed my eyesight is deteroriating every year..My doctor said after 25 it will start to slow down. Now i'm wearing glasses more because i believe my contacts have alot to do with my poor vision and the decline in my vision. Is there anyone who has researched lasik surgery and/or has had it that can tell me the risk involved, advantages and difference it's made with their vision. I've spoken to my optomitirist and he states it's realtivly safe with very few side effects except for blurred vision at night. I'm very very farsighted and i basicly need glasses/contacts to see not just read. Any advice or info will be appreciated.

Pros:
the vision -- being able to see first thing in the morning is something I'm grateful for even after 7 years
cons:
not cheap
after-surgery discomfort can far range from mild irritation (a feeling like grit in the eye) to outright pain (like having dilation drops put in your eye in a steady stream) with the mild to moderate discomfort being most common
glare or star bursts, especially at night. Everybody can expect some at the beginning, but the larger your pupils the greater the chance of them being severe & permanent
even after healing, the cornea will not be as strong as it was before, so your risk of eye injury is greater (especially if your into contact sports)
you have to do without your contacts for a couple weeks before and without makeup a couple weeks after (even though this is superficial, it can bother some people)
in rare cases, worsening of the vision or blindness can occur
Overall:
I would recommend it. The inconvenience and discomfort of the surgery is well worth the vision you receive (this coming from someone who got the worst of the discomfort and star bursts).
Paul asks…
Why do people get lasik eye surgery when it's risky?
Lasik eye surgery can have side effects which can cause permanent damage to the eye. I used to have bad eyesight until a friend at work told me about some pills that are very good for eyesight. They are called bilberry. They take a while to work and you also have to reduce eyestrain to get results. In other words, reduce computer use, relax eyes more, stuff like that. I am living proof that this works. So why would people spend money on surgery when there's other methods to improving eyesight? Maybe people are skeptical of things. I was too until I tried it.
admin answers:
Most of the claims for bilberry revolve around improvement of night vision. I have never seen claims that they reduce myopia. Your results with this supplement are certainly not typical.
