I've had to wear glasses my whole life starting at age 3 and it soooo sucked now i'm 27 i have a job and no kids and i figured "hey i can afford it, why not" the doctor gave me a list of references but i would rather ask someone that dosnt come from the doctor. What can i expect during and after the surgery. My insurance will pay 15% of it so it comes out to about 1200 each eye. I know there are cheaper ones but with something like this i dont want to find the cheapest, you know that saying "u get what u pay for". what r your thoughts on Lasik....go for it or go buy more contacts and why?

my eye doctor did tell me however when i'm about 40 i'll have to get reading glasses. i just dont know if its worth it when eventually i'll be a back to glasses again but then again there reading glass and i dont have to wear them all the time like i do know. but i would love to have that feeling of waking up in the middle of the night and be able to see the clock, or go swimming and go under water and be able to look without having to wear those dorky looking googles or rub my eyes and not have to worry about moving my contact....i just dont know i have my appointment in a few weeks and i'm kind of in the middle.

Go get 'em tiger!!!
Heck, wouldn't it be great not to have to wear glasses, even if it is only for 13 years????
And what do they know, maybe you wont need glasses that soon anyway....
I say go for it!

I have an uncle who it didn't work for and he kept going until they told him that he would just have to wear glasses. I personally wouldn't chance it, but if its what you want then go for it. Just make sure you know all the risks and that you have done research on your doctor. Your eyes are something that you don't want to play around with so be careful.

LAsik Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges lasik surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as lasik surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your laser surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

LASIK surgery is rather effective but there is a chance of a sliver that it will fail. I think you should have spectacles since contact lenses are quite troublesome, said a relative.

my mother did it. it helped for about 5 years and she can still see clearly just not the tiny print. if your vision isn't too bad, you should wait. if it's already terrible and you cant see anything without your glasses, then go for it.
good luck.
