Questions About Lasik Vision Correction Problems

Ken asks…

How would I know if Lasik vision correction is right for me?

I have a damaged tear duct due to an injury. My vision problem has nothing to do with the injury. I wear the same proscription I did as a child.

lasik vision correction?

i will be getting the lasik vision correction done on wens. it costs a lot more than i expected. i will be getting the traditional lasik done and not the "custom lasik". can anyone tell me from experience if i should save and get the custom done or should just get it now with the traditional. i've heard that some people have had issues with headaches and nightvision problems... ?! i was so excited this morning, but now i'm a little skeptical!

admin answers:

I got the custom done in August. Custom corrects out higher-order aberrations that mostly affect your night vision. I got it because my night vision is generally bad and I didn't want it to get worse (I hear that can happen with lasik, whether it be custom or regular). In the end my night vision is about the same as before with glasses.

I recommend you talk to your doctor. If the higher order aberrations in your eyes are large, and you are concerned about night vision, you might want to get custom.

Vision Correction Procedures?

I've been considering having my vision corrected by LASEK, PRK, or whatever procedure I'm found to need. From what I've discovered so far, it seems like LASIK is definitely a bad decision. Also, the more research I do, the more it seems like no matter which procedure I qualify for or choose it is highly likely to adversely affect me for the rest of my days. What I'm finding in my research is that the surgeons and their practices seem to be withholding very important information from their clients and downplaying the possible problems in an effort to just make as much profit as possible without regard for the patients' well-being. I'm curious to hear from people who have had, or know of friends who have had, any of these procedures and the results you or they experienced. Please just answer if you have true, good information as this is an extremely important decision I am trying to make. Thanks! :)

admin answers:

I have several friends who have had Lasik and they are all thrilled with the results and have had no problems whatsoever. Note, though, that we are all over 40 and they still need to wear reading glasses, so it's important to have realistic expectations.

That said, though, I would never do it myself for the exact reasons you mentioned.

Ruth asks…

does lasik make objects appear smaller for nearsightedness like glasses and contacts do?

Glasses and contacts correct my vision but not 100%. I am nearsighted. I just went to the ophthalmologist and he couldn't give me corrections to see perfectly because though adding strength to my prescription would make the letters on the wall a little clearer, they were so tiny I could not read anyway. I am wondering if Lasik would correct my eyesight without this problem. I tried to google it but couldn't find any answer. Anyone knows?

admin answers:

Lasik corrects vision by correcting your natural lens. Make an appointment to see a doctor that does lasik, and he/she can explain it in detail and tell you if he/she can help or not.

Question about Mikey Ways vision...?

I know he had glasses then he got lasik. But since Gerard and Mikey are brothers wouldnt Gerard have a problem with his eyes to? i have bad vision to but no brothers or sisters so i dont know if siblings would have the same problem. and does any one know how old he was when he needed vision correction? thanks 4 ur answers!
babysally are u sure thats Mikey on myspace I mean it could be some one pretending to be him and u said hes on there alot, i dont think so he seems like he would be very very busy with the band and all

admin answers:

Gerard's eye are fine. I have never seen him wear glasses. At the young age of 9, Mikey was struck with the affliction known as nearsightedness. Unable to see such things as the chalkboard, the movie screen (or anything more than 5 feet away) he was forced to get corrective lenses.

Mikey and his glasses spent many fruitful years together. They saw each other through the good times, as well as the bad. In May of 2006 this friendship came to a crashing halt. Michael's glasses met their end tragically, by way of Lasik eye surgery.
