Do you have to get needles when you have laser eye surgery?

Question

Do you have to have needles in or around your eye? And does any of the surgery hurt?

Answer 1

no, they use lasers now

Answer 2

wtf why would you ask such a question ??

Answer 3

They don't cut your eye at all when doing laser eye surgery now.  No needles will be used.  My Mom and good friend had the surgery done.  They said that it isn't painful - just a little uncomfortable while the procedure is happening.  They both said that it was well worth it!

Answer 4

Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Answer 5

No you don't. There are no needles involved, but they do cut a small part of your cornea. It doesn't hurt at all, but the recovery time is long.

Answer 6

You don't need to have a needle or anything painful, but you have to make sure your eyes are really moist, because it really dries them out.
