thorne Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 My buddy had it done. I will tell you right after the surgery his vision sucked. But then it cleared up after 6months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 A guy in my Networking class just had it done. He said the entire procedure took 15 minutes for both eyes, and he could see great immediately after the surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Mine is 5 years old now, paid $1000/eye. Still have 20/15ish vision. I contest, it is the only thing you can do to improve your life on a second by second basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 What about eye dryness, soreness, senstivity to light, etc.? My g/f never wears her glasses, and many time misses things because of it. Would be a good thing for her to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelloman4571647545499 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I just got it done 3 months ago at the lasik vision center on Main by hooters. it cost me about 2300 for the whole thing. Not bad. There was dryness, very sensitive to light the first two days. Just wear sunglasses and you will be alright. I now have a little better than 20/15. Just do your eye drops and keep your rewatering drops and you will be fine. It took a total of 5.5 minutes for the surgury. I was worried cause there my eyes, but once you walk in and see its an assembly line that fear kinda goes away. while I was in there total time of 25 minutes I say 4 people in front of me leave and 5 behind me coming in. its a good business to get into.

Akula Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 ok, so the surgery is pretty invasive. They cut your cornea in a U shape, then flip the cornea up and use the laser to burn the proper shape into your eye, then flip the U back down. It takes about 24 hours to heal. Once you have the procedure complete you can see very well. It is instantaneous. For the next week you can expect dryness as the cornea needs fluid to heal. Once the week is up you may notice some dryness when you are dehydrated. I did my homework and had the proper laser for my eye shape and problem. I don't get halos because I had the right laser, I honestly can say this is the best money I have ever spent and would pay $5000/eye if I knew what it would mean to have this done.

initzero Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I had lasik done at TLC in December and I went from 20/1200 to 20/25. I will be 100% honest, The surgery is more mental then physical. You will loose your sight for 5min or so during the surgery, as long as you stay calm there is nothing to it.

black00ws6 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 20/250 before.. 20/15 and even can see some of the 20/10 letters. The most pain I felt was when I first walked outside after the procedure. All light HURT.. But once you get home, you sleep from the drugs for a few hours, wake up and you can see. I had 20/20 the very next day. It's been over a year and no problems, no dryness, pain, etc. I had it done at Revision off of polaris with a wavefront laser, it was around 3500.

Smokey Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 where did you do your research this? Where did you have your procedure done? ok, so the surgery is pretty invasive.

Mensan Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Highly recommend it. I had mine done at Lasik Plus as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 where did you do your research this? Where did you have your procedure done? Primarily FDA website. I did mine at Lasik Plus on the east side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
