I'd approaching to hold LASIK surgery. Anyone have it done and bitterly regrets it? If so, why? Thank you surrounded by credit.
Answers: Nope! Don't buy what someone else here in Answers or on YouTube is shoveling out about the procedure! The KEY is to use a VERY reputable surgeon! DON'T use one of those doctors whom you see on TV! He's doing it lately for the money! My corneas proved to be too thin for the LASIK procedure. So he had to use PRK to fix my eyes. This intended needing TWO or THREE weeks for my eyes to recover, and they come around eventually. It's great! My tiny brain has forgotten what it's like to hold to reach for the glasses every morning, almost.
My brother just now had it done, and i wear glasses but am not frail to have it done yet and i plan on doing it. It apparently is phenomenal and he's have no problems, his eyes got a tiny bit worse than perfect for a month after while they heal, but then went fund up to 20/20 again, he used to be a -2 in each eye as i believe i am, so if i were you i'd go for it. You also receive repeated treatment if you go to the best place. If you do it make sure you be in motion for the highest quality and usually most expensive alternative because it's not something you wanna do on a budget Hi
The FDA has approved laser eye surgery since 1995. 99% of patients that undergone the treatment are happy.
There is a unselective and very small risk. As with any surgical procedure within is always risk, even oral surgical when you pull out your teeth.
I would say aloud get yourself educated next to it and make an appointment for consultation and screening to see if you qualified. Some places screen you for free.
Have you ever considered contact lenses?
Anyway, LASIK is in reality a laser surgery, and uses a laser to cut a bit of your eye so that it is possible to 'move' it back into 20/20 vision place.
The problem is that the bit that have been cut doesn't heal, and it's be proven that in your old age when your eyes fluently deteriorate, your LASIK operated eyes might actually become blind or your delusion will worsen drastically.
My GP advised against, mainly because the effect of this procedure is not irreversible - a few years down the line, it will need to be done again.
This is apparently one of the reason for the NHS not funding this treatment at the present time.
i haven't yet, but i will have mine done subsequent year. one of my friend did about 10 years ago when she was 18. her verbs was really bad, they be -10 and -6. she said that was the best thing that she's ever done. she eyes verbs still as good as new and never hold any probs so far.. I would think that lasik r fine if u get a drastically good doc to do the surgery for u. good luck
Well, I haven't have it done, but I wouldn't go through LASIK surgery. It's true that the healing time is profusely faster and that there's nearly no pain compared to other refractive surgeries (like epi-lasik or PRK or LASEK) but it's done by cutting a special flap through the cornea. This flap is created within order to fool the cornea into thinking it hasn't been injured, thus minimizing the risk of corneal steam (a response of the cornea in which abnormal tissue growth occur, making sight foggy). This flap never heals, and it can split again at any time, even years after the surgery, espcially if your job includes contact sport (like wrestling) when trauma to the eye is not uncommon.
When I'll run through refractive surgery (and I will, I've got -5.50 in both eyes and roughly speaking -0.75 astigmatism in both) I will probably take LASEK, contained by which there is no flap, instead another part of the cornea (which heal very rapidly so if defile is done they simply remove it like in PRK) is lift and put back after the surgery, effectivlely fooling the eye and making it believe it hasn't been injured, but the reclamation times are longer. Either that, or I'll use epi-lasik in which that layer is replaced next to a new one. PRK is the same as both, except here that echelon is basically removed and allowed to grow back. Here, however, the eye know it has been injured and may develop the corneal spray I mentiond before. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_... for further details.
As for the side effects, it is possible to experience glare and starbursts after refractive surgery of any humane, althogh this risk is minimized by using wavefront guided surgery, which is basically a map of your eye, giving you the type of surgery most suited for your needs.
As I mentioned up to that time, there are flap problems when going through LASIK, while PRK has corneal smog. Also, make sure you go through proper trialling beforehand, as there are a number of corneal disorders you may hold and are unaware of that disqualify you from having any open-handed of refractive surgery.
