Does laser eye surgery work?

Question

is it permenant or does it ware off after a couple of years?

Answer 1

I had laser eye surgery about 4 years ago, and my hubby had it done 2 years ago, and we both still have perfect vision. It's permanent.

Answer 2

As the second poster mentioned, it's a good deal if you are a young person. However, if you are in your late 40s like I am, it really doesn't have much benefit. I would still need glasses anyway. I've had people tell me that I'm strange for not wanting to wear glasses only for reading or for close up vision but they don't realize that I've been the way I am for almost 40 years. I'm used to not having distance vision. I'm not used to not having close up vision. I'm not sure how well I could adjust to not having close up vision. I've tried on reading glasses and I hate them. I really wouldn't want to have to use them a lot of the time.

Laser eye surgery does work....until you develop cataracts.  The laser changes the shape of your cornea allowing you to focus more clearly.  As you age the natural lens inside your eye can become cloudy and lose the ability to focus.  This is a cataract.  If you are in your 20's or 30's, I would say go for it.  If you are in your mid to upper 40's you need to understand that soon you will need reading glasses for up close things.  This is a natural aging process.  So, your vision would be good at distance, but you may need glasses to read.  It really depends on your lifestyle, age and expectations.  Most of the time you can make an appointment for a consultation for free.  I would recommend doing this and talking to the doctor about your options.

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.
