i'm pretty excited about this. i had 20/220 vision, and the doctors were not to optimistic on how well my corrected vision would be.
well, i now have 20/20 vision, and it's the greatest thing that's ever happened. i'm kind of lucky because my carpenter's insurance paid 5200 dollars, and i owed 50$ outta pocket.
to all of you who were considering it, or had friends/family considering it - do it!
my eyes were completely numb and i didn't feel a thing, and the entire procedure took 10-12 minutes. i did feel them cutting my eye open, pulling back the skin, and hitting it with the laser... but it didn't hurt ;D
congrats broo, my dad had something covering his eye like a black film, so he had to get it laser removed, he said it was painless, only thing that irritated him was afterwards it hurt looking into light.
#3 same, -9.something prescription. but i got contacts for the first time ever six months ago, and i'm happy with that atm. not having glasses is amazing, no matter what.
I had that too and it has to be the greatest thing I've ever done in my life I have a 40/20 vision now. Only the fact of not having to look for your glasses before you drive is just amazing.
i just hope you guys saying youre gonna get it done as well consider the risks involved. my mom had it done years ago and i was against it from the very beginning but she had it done anyways and thankfully it all worked out in the end.
there are many risks including infection (amputation of cornea), cornea being desroyed, and many, many others which are really awful :/
it's one of those things where if you can see enough without glasses/contacts to swim, and play sports, it's not worth it.
but in my case, i couldn't see well enough to eat m y dinner haha. sports/water/everything become harder, and life is tough... so it's worth the risks in my case.
but yeah, listen to #15. the risks of something bad happening are incredibly low, but with every operation you need to take them into account!
"60/220" Do you have any idea what the two numbers mean? Obviously not because you pulled these two right out of your ass. You would have approximately 20/70 based on those two incorrect numbers which isn't even close to legally blind which is 20/200.
I had cataract surgery done back in April and it was amazing. I've got a synthetic lens in there now, and I got the refractive one (which insurance does NOT cover btw) and I can finally see out of my right eye. Procedure took like 15-20 minutes and I was up, walking out of the surgery center 10 minutes later.
#28 First of all its near/farsighted not sided just so you dont look like an idiot next time you talk about visual acuity. Your dad most likely because farsighted because of his age, most people will have to wear glasses to read when they get older because of hyperopia (farsightedness). What happened was most likely not an adverse effect of the operation.
just got lasik

just had to share
i think my eyes are 60/220? im not sure, havent been in awhile. but i am legally blind without my glasses, but I dont like them.
so no pain, it worked 100% and your "carpenters" insurance paids for it? :d wow
I'll have to look more into when I get time. I'm getting tired of contacts and glasses all of the time.
Congrats though! :)

Amazing what shooting lasers into the eyes can do.

first he was near sided, got the operation, was perfect, then shifted far sided
:\ now he wears glasses again
