laser eye surgery? I dont have the best eyes in the world. I think my perscription is 4.25 and 4.50. I also have Amblyopia lazy eye. I'm 20 years ol;d and I have allways hated wearing glasses.

Laser eye surgery to correct vision? Has anyone had this done? My eyes are -4.25 in one eye and -4.75 in the other. I heard that laser surgery may not be completely successful because my vision is pretty bad. Is this true? Is there much of a risk involved in the surgery itself?

will laser eye surgery work for a lazy eye? I had surgery for a squint as a child and now I'm almost forty it is getting noticeably worse. The more tired I am the worse it gets. I wonder, would laser surgery help? I also have astigmatism in that eye. The other eye is very good. I can't wear glasses because my left eye is near perfect and my right eye is really bad, there has to be a balance in the glasses, apparently. My near vision is excellent, if anything, it is my far vision which is not as good as it was. I was hoping that laser surgery would help me regain good vision in my right eye and I could patch the left eye to help the brain to recognise it - this would also help to build up the muscle which control the eye, does this sound hopeful at all?

Laser eye surgery? I am very nearsighted, and I know it's not a good idea to try to have my vision totally corrected with laser surgery, but can it be improved? Even just shaving off a few diopters would be great. I don't mind wearing contacts, but I'm almost to the point where they will be very expensive. My prescription is -11.50 in my left eye, and -10.00 in my right eye.

If u do have anything say please tell......

how does having laser eye surgery compromise being able to still enjoy scuba diving (i.e. pressure to 250 ft?) From what I understand, laser surgery affects intraocular pressure in the eyeball; when scuba diving, submerging to pressures that exceed one ATM (at the surface) down to 250 ft - the point beyond which nitrogen narcosis is likely to be experienced, hence sport divers do not exceed this depth) what effect does/will having the eye surgery have upon vision, or compromising the eye in any way? Have never heard of any article in this regard, and when I sent ltrs of inquiry both on the internet and to ophthalmologists, never seem to get an answer, even to admit they simply do not know?

has anybody had laser surgery on 1 eye? i have had lasik laser eye surgery on my left eye as i was told that my prescription is very week in my right so i went to optical express last week and had my 1 eye done, now a week later i still cant see properly?? its like wearing 1 contact lense, i cant see properly distance to watch tv or drive and i cant see to read or do close up stuff, my eyes are just not working together. anyone else had this problem? if so what did you do. i was told it would adjust in a few days but its been over a week now.

Laser eye surgery? Have you ever known anyone whose physical appearance changed as a result of this surgery? My brother underwent the procedure a few years ago, and he seems to me to have a different facial expression, holds his eyes wider open or something. The doctor I spoke with today said maybe it's because he's not squinting any more. I'm seriously considering having laser surgery myself but, frankly, I'm afraid of any surgery or invasive procedure. I really don't want to look like a deer in headlights like my brother does.

Laser eye surgery abroad? HI, I want to have laser surgery on my eyes but can't afford the UK prices. Can anyone recommend a good surgery in maybe somewhere like Poland - I had knee surgery there and it was excellent. Any help would be great!

Laser eye surgery or contact lenses? Which would be a better choose? I have worn contacts before and sort of leary about the laser surgery. Regardless how good the doctor or surgery, there are some severe side effects and eyes are a delicate pair.

Hi, My eyesight is -1.25 in both eyes (I have trouble reading things in the distance) How does laser eye surgery work? does it burn a layer off the eye? and if so, what makes this layer form? I don't really know alot about eyes or laser eye surgery but if anyone has had laser eye surgery, how benifical was it and what do they do? ie how does the surgery work?

Laser Lasik Eye Surgery long term effects? I have been thinking about going for Laser eye surgery, my vision is like 4 and 4.50. I used to wear contacts all the time, until my eyes got very dry and now I can't even wear a contact in my right eye - it hurts when I am taking it out and the contact stuck to my eye. I would like to know if there are any long term bad effects after Laser eye surgery, e.g. will my vision worsen in the future as I'm now only 24, and what happens if I suffer cataracts when I'm old? Am I still able to have another eye surgery to fix that problem? Also, has anyone had such a problem with contacts being stuck to the eye and being very painful to remove?? I mentioned it to my optometrist and she said my right eye was severely dry. But even after resting my eyes by not wearing contacts & wearing only glasses for a few months, when I tried wearing my contacts again, I could hardly wear it in my right eye for more than 1 hr. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

laser eye surgery? Hi, I'm thinking of having laser eye surgery as I am short sighted and need glasses for driving and watching t.v. However my near vision is very good. I am aged 43. Will I need reading glasses after laser eye surgery? I'd appreciate any advice from anyone that had laser eye surgery done. Thanks, Eddie

Dry eyes and laser eye surgery? I would LOVE to have laser eye surgery, but I have very dry eyes. I have heard that one should not get laser eye surgery if they have dry eyes because the surgery only makes them drier. Is that the case? Could anyone please give me examples if you have had it yourself or your experience with the surgery?

laser eye surgery question? I have very bad eyesight right now (my contacts are 3.25 and 4.50 diopters for my right and left eyes, respectively, and I think the diopters for my glasses are even worse). I want to get laser eye surgery in the future (I'm not eligible now because I barely turned 17 a month ago). I was just wondering how long should I wait to get the surgery, what condition my eyes need to be in to qualify for surgery, and how much should a good surgery cost?

Had laser-eye surgery a year ago. Any of you had similar experiences? Laser-eye surgery is one of the most incredible human advancements ever. Vision can be corrected in 5 minutes. That's how long it took for my procedure, and it was painless, but it was precise. They do a lot of tests beforehand to gain parameters for the laser. There was side effects afterwards, like I had to wear sunglasses outside, otherwise it would burn my eyes. Other precautions they advised me, some of them I just did on orders, but I learned that the advice they give on recovery is for a good reason: if you rub your eyes when you wake up, it will hurt. It won't destroy your eye, but your eye will still be fragile. It's been more than a year since I've had it, and I've grown so adjusted to the new freedom. No more glasses! There are "possible" side effects after the procedure, some of them are extreme (including blindness), so when you sign you agree that one of those COULD happen, like once in a million chance. Any of you had positive experiences after surgery?

Laser eye surgery??? Would it be bad if I got laser eye surgery??? I am 17 but the last time I went to the eye doctor my prescription didn't change so do you think I would be able to get eye surgery??? (I know people usually wait til their early 20s to get it but a friend of mine who's my age is able to get it since her eyes have finished developing). Thoughts on this???

laser eye surgery, is it worth it? ok, i am turning 20 this month, and my eye sight is pretty bad and i would like to get rid of the nuisance of contact lenses and glasses. I am aware that laser eye surgery will correct my sight, and i can only do the surgery when im 21. I am not at all concerned about cost, all i am concerned about is the health and safety aspect, so when im 21, and do the surgery (the one with the latest methods and technology) will it get my eyesight to 20/20 perfect vision? are there any long term effects. sight defects??? will the surgery cause any chnages such as ruduction in colour or night sight or anything like that? basically is it worth the risk? thanks oh and i have very litrle astigmatism, will the surgery correct this??

I Want Laser Eye Surgery!? First of all, Iam going to be 16 years old in 1 month, Iam wondering if it is legal to have laser eye surgery for my age since my eys are realy bad and without glasses i cant see within a meter clearly? So what is the legal age to have a laser eye surgery in Canada, Ontario, Toronto? Whats the Risk's? Can i go blind if something goes wrong in the operation? Whats the cost in Ontario, Toronto? Is it painfull afterwards or uncomfortable? will i need drops?? also i heard if i get a laser eye surgery, i have to get one every year is the true or false? ps- Iam learning to be a pilot and with glasses i cant fulfill my dreams.. I also play sports, and been boxing since i was 12 thats another reason why i wanted to get an eye surgery so badly, do i still quilify?

How Can Laser Eye Surgery Help With Someone Who Has Amblyopia ? I am an adult that has Amblyopia,(was not correct as a child) as far as I was aware, nothing can be done to make the eye better after the age of 8. I looked into having some laser eye surgery a few years ago,& was told that I am not suitable. Now I am getting conflicting information. I have since found out that a company would do the treatment, I have also recently been back to the first company that I asked and they say I am not suitable. I am confused, how can any eye surgery make a bad eye see clearly again ?. Amblyopia is when the eye decides to switch off from the brain at an early age because the signal from the brain to that eye are not the same as the other eye. I dont need to know anymore about the condition. Just, how are these surgeons claiming that the sight can be restored (if it was never there). I am very longsighted, my good eye is +5.00, and I couldnt tell you what the bad eye is, there is some slight vision(not blurred but like double). Thanks

Corrective Laser Eye Surgery? I have been told by my eye doctor that I am a great candidate for laser eye surgery. I currently wear contacts, and my vision has been stable for over four years now. I am considering having it done this year. I want honest answers please. Does this hurt during the surgery? Do I feel anything? Will I be in pain after? I researched specialists in my area, so I am confident in the doctor, but I want to know if I will be in pain during and after surgery. How long does the surgery last too? Sorry for all the questions. I've never had any type of surgery before in my life. Oops, I meant to say Lasik Eye Surgery. Sorry.

Laser Eye Surgery.? Hi everyone I have a bit of a problem. I have perfect vision in my left eye but in my right eye its kinda blurry when i try to make out Letters and such. This is a problem because I plan to join the military in 2 years and I want to be a sniper. Another issue is my family has an odd eye history. My father is far sighted and needs reading glasses and my mother had completely bad vision. but my siblings have good vision except me and my right eye. Can any one tell me if I would be a good candidate for Laser Eye Surgery and how much would the costs be? That would be very appreciated. thank you.

Laser Eye Surgery - can I have it again if it didn`t work? Can anyone help pls. I had laser eye surgery about 10 years ago at Optimax in London. Back then there was only the original version called PRK and I had 1 eye done and it was amazing and I have perfect vision still in that eye. However, I had the 2nd eye done 3 months later and it didn`t work - I am still short sighted but it reduced it from -5.5 to -2 Apparently the poor vision is due to the haze not properly clearing? Does anyone know if with all the new technology I could have treatment on this eye to correct the vision despite having already had PRK on it Would be so grateful for any info/advice. Thks

Considering laser eye surgery? I'm considering laser eye surgery but confused about all the options out there. I've been to a consultation, but I always get scared and back out when I see the possible complications. I am short sighted (-3.00) and usually wear accuvue contact lenses or, for the computer, some glasses. My question is: Optical Express, Optimax or Accuvision? Lasik, Lasek or Wavefront? I want value for money, but more important is for it to work the first time, to last and for it to be as pain free as possible. Has anyone had laser eye surgery here? Any advice most appreciated!

Laser eye surgery??? I had an appoinment this weekend to see if I was suitable for laser eye surgery, and I am. with Optical Express. The price given was quite expensive so I phone Optimax and they quote higher but then offer a £400 recudtion as they has a policy to price beat any other quote. What I want to know are all Laser eye clincs about the same in quality so it is better to find a 'bargin' or should I stick to expensive = quality. Really not sure what is best to do. Please help???

Laser eye surgery? I'm afraid I'm going to go blind by the time I'm twenty. I already wear glasses, ever since second or third grade, and my dad didn't have them until he was in college!

I want to have healthy, eyes though, and i might as well die than be blind. people who have had laser eye surgery, help!
