Is anyone did Lasik Eye surgery before?

Question

Is there any sign effect / do you encourage? Please advice and with many thanks..

Answer 1

I get halos and glare at night without having ever had any surgery.

I think people just are more attentive after they have had the surgery and notice it, even though the "night vision" problems were there previously.

Answer 2

i have some friends who have done it and the only sight effects is the the glare, as posted by the above answerer.

not so bad side effects, though

Answer 3

Well I'm 22 and had all laser interlase lasik eye surgery about a month ago and love it. My vision is now 20/20 (I was classified as legally blind before the procedure). The first 24 hours were definitely uncomfortable (I slept most of it though). I was told by my surgeon that due to my age there is a 30% chance that I will need what they call an enhancement procedure in 10 years. However my surgery came with 100% lifetime guarantee so if I do need an enhancement I won't need to pay again which is nice since the procedure did cost me $4000. Go to a free consolation and find out if you are a candidate (I actually went to a few places). I ended up going to Lasik Plus (http://www.lasikplus.com/), they have tons of locations. During the consolation you bascially go through a very in depth eye exam to check various things (one of the big ones is testing the thickness of your cornea (if they're not that thick it will limit which types of lasik surgery you may be able to get, if any). Generally they won't do surgery if your vision has not been stabilized for at least 1-2 years. Just remember there are risks but the recent FDA complainants are not new (or really a lot when you consider how many people have had it done), the press just focuses on them every once in a while. The key is to make sure you find a surgeon that you feel comfortable in that is willing to answer any questions you may have.

As for halos and glare (especially at night) I experience a bit of this, still do (it's pretty common for quite a while after the surgery), but it's not that bad. I notice it, but it isn't enough to interfere with any part of my life (such as driving at night, etc...)

Answer 4

Go ahead!

Answer 6
