Chris asks…
Regarding LASIK surgery, is Custom Wavefront Lasik worth $800 more than Flying Spot Technology?
If someone could provide an educated opinion on the topic I'd appreciate it. My LASIK surgeon recommended either the Bausch & Lomb 217Z (flying spot) or the Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix (custom wavefront). When I search for articles on the web, all I get are articles promoting one or the other, but I cant find a comparison. It seems like the Zypotix comes higher recommended but is it worth an extra $800? Or is the improvement between custom wavefront over flying spot worth it?

They all give the same results. The difference in the doctor you choose is more important than that difference in the available technologies.

How long does eye stay red
If you overwear your contacts then you most likely have neovasc in any case + sclera stays red for some months before dissipating slowly. If you are referring to impact from the procedure, SCH (sub-congenital haemorrhage - only if you have LASIK and only if you squeeze too much or your surgeon is rough - anywhere from 1 day to a few weeks.
Do you see clearly automatically after surgery
Assuming the correct prescription is laser on, then you have clear focus, but vision is overall blurry/watery for up to 6 hours after LASIK, surface treatments take longer to heal.
Can I use underground after 2 days
Yes
Shall I wear goggles after surgery in shower
NO - while it may seem like a bright idea, you are likely to create an air seal on the glasses and the suction on taking them off may disrupt a LASIK flap edge
How long does it take to heal
LASIK flap edges normally heal within 48 hours so long as you don't rub your eyes and move the flap about. The stromal interface never heals.
Best you have a few consultations so that your individual situation can be evaluated. The questions above are as open as the length of a piece of string.

William asks…
would you suggest me having a lasik wavefront eye surgery?
hi,im 34,since 14 i ve been wearing glasses,as today i went to my doctor HE told me to have this lasik surgery with laser but im not sure,i d like to know some opinions from some people who done it before ,my prescription its high BOTH MY EYES ARE 7.50
admin answers:
I had lasik eye surgery about 1 ago, so far I have been very happy, but it has cons that were small to me. For instance, I see small halos at night when I'm driving around the street lights and car lights, they are not great enough to really bother me. The paperwork before the surgery is pretty scary, you have to sign a waiver in which it explains all the things that can go wrong, so in the end, you just have to ask yourself if you are willing to deal with the cons no matter their size. There are also about three or four different technology's for laser surgery, I know lasik and wavefront are two different ones. So just make sure your doctor know which technology is best for you.
