TURBOED Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Had mine done last July. The most amazing thing ever. Timeline of my eyes: 2nd grade - got glasses 4th grade - got contacts Last summer (23 years old) - had a -5.25 contact prescrption (that's pretty bad). The top letter on an eye chart was a giant blur 15 minutes after surgery - could read about 4 lines down on eye chart (lots of gunk in my eyes still) Day after surgery - back at work, could read bottom line on eye chart The whole experience was really fine. The only kind of creepy thing is that you can smell your eye burning when the laser starts going. A little off-putting. Oh, and if anyone is considering this, I would highly reccomend going to Revision at Polaris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Had laser a little over a year and half, the last time I got my eyes checked they were at 20/12. Before, the Dr. would ask me to read the line I could see.. I would go... uuhhh E +1 for revision, thats where I went as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil8 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Best thing ever!! I was 20/135 left eye, 20/95 right eye, I now knock down the 20/10 line all day. Four years on the new eyes and they rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I have never heard of anyone having problems after the surgery. I am looking to get it done about a year from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJINOHIO03 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 how much does the surgery cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 how much does the surgery cost? From what I have heard, it really depends on the problems you are having with your eyes and which of the different machines that they have to use to actually fix your eyes. Simple proceedure - $500ish/eye, Really bad eyes - can be upwards of $2K per eye. I will more than likely be in that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Mine was $2500 from Lasik Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 My g/f is thinking about getting it soon. Money isn't a factor, but a great job at it is. She can't stand contacts, and has a very bad habbit of not wearing her glasses. I think she is most worried about down time, risk, dry eyes, and if she will have vision issues again 10 years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 My grandfather got shot in his eye with a BB gun when he was six. I never knew it until he had the Lasik surgery. Somehow he had almost no vision in that eye but, it wasn't visably damaged. He had the surgery 3 yrs. ago (he is in his 70's). His biggest problem was learning his depth perception and such again after being used to only seeing out of one eye. He is very happy with it.

Steve1647545497 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I have Nystagmus(eyes move from side to side) and I got lasik done. I went to the most notable in town and it cost almost $5000. I am very satisfied, the cost in glasses alone over the years will make up for it let alone all the other great benefits of not having glasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm considering this. Can you feel anything during surgery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1647545497 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm considering this. Can you feel anything during surgery? It is painless, you can only feel a little bit of pressure on your eye, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelloman4571647545499 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 i got it done in june and I love it. Best $2500 I spent. Went to Lasik on Main street. Very nice people. What made me uneasy was is was like an assembly line. When I went in I was waiting for 15 minutes and I saw 3 or 4 people go in and come out. Then when I came out, seeing damn good mind you, there was 4 people waiting. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
