Any thoughts on vision correction surgery?

Answer 1

I had surgery 8 days ago and still not good vision because Dr. said I had loose skin in eye. I have not heard about this but all the other friends had good luck. I only did one eye and have had a patch on it 5 days out of 8 and still not seeing well. Please check into more!!!!!

Hi, i had lasik done over a year ago and had fantastic results. I believe the key is to research doctors; also many clinics will provide you with a free consultation to see if you are eligible for the surgery. This way you can get a fill for the clinic and see if you fill comfortable doing the surgery. I had to wear contacts/glasses throughout school and college and couldn't see anything without them.. and now i can see 20/20. I could actually read the clock that was hanging on the wall when i sat up off the table from having my surgery! i really felt like crying, i was so happy! Also if you are not in your early 20's then lasik may not be a good choice right now.. if you are younger your vision can change. If you do have the surgery be sure to put drops in continuous so they will not dry out (this happened to my mother's right eye and its painful) Best of Luck!!

Some people in my workplace have had it done and I think it has changed their overall appearance in a negative way.

Firstly they seem to have a bit of a squint; like their eyes have gone a bit piggy. One guy was really good looking in a Richard Gere sort of way with lovely eyes and very sexy in glasses but now most of the girls in the office are agreed his eyes just look a little glazed all the time ( this is one year after the operation). The same for the other folks - a guess a bit like plastic surgery - they look a bit alien like.
Also remember that wearing glasses can be very attractive on most people if you get the right styles. So a contact lens/glasses comb means you can vary your look a bit.

So aside from the potential eye health and vision concerns I don't think lazor vision is quite the miracle cure yet.

There are pros and cons. Some people's vision turns out ok, others have problems. With cataracts it works fine because the opthalmologist inserts an artificial lens into the eye and it will correct vision, The only problem with that is, if you could read but couldn't see far, after surgery it will be the opposite. And vice versa. Also in about 30% of the people with former cataracts, they can come back but then the ophthalmologist can remove that with a laser because the lense is artificial. And since cataracts turn your vision not only cloudy but nearly blind, its a God send

Answer 5

I'd like to have it lol. I'm 16 and my vision is -5.00 (-5.25 for glasses). Pretty bad for my age, and it seems to change rather fast. I wear contacts, but it would be nice not to be able to see through my own eyes and not through little pieces of magnifying rubber :)

I tried the day&night contacts but since I can't see with them as well as the others I just stuck with the regular ones you only wear through the day.

I think you have to be at least 18 before you can have the vision correction surgery, and your eyes have to have stopped changing (getting worse) for a matter of months. So I still have a ways to go. When/if the opportunity ever comes along I'd jump at the idea.

Answer 6

There are several systems to improve rapidly and naturally vision.
To know how to do that you can discover here a compelte technique focused around researches done by some researcher, for a shabby price: ( http://getyourvisionbacknow.keysolve.net )

I can provide for you simply a few tips however I recommend to give a look to the technique that i posted above...for illustration you can take more sustenance that holds vitamin A, for example, carrots may help to naturally improve your vision. We can likewise dependably do exercises. There are exercises, for example, rolling your eyeball to form an undetectable square that are constantly recommended by the doctors to improve one's vision. I don't think about rapidly as there is no quick approach to reach one's objective. Vegetarians can help to improve one's vision. I accept it in light of the fact that I am a vegetarian and my eye short-sightedness power remains the same without any increase after around 2 years. The doctor was stunned in light of the fact that teenagers at my years will normally have a most increase since we are continually staring at the TV, playing computers furthermore reading. I don't know whether it is completely true or not yet it does influence a bit on the result. At any rate i propose to check the connection that I posted.

Answer 7

I'm against it. In Anatomy and Physiology my teacher said this. Have you noticed that at eye doctors places they always where glasses. If the surgery was so great why dont they have it done? Also he said that it accelerates your need to where reading glasses and for some ppl the results will only last 10 years.

Answer 9

i think it's interesting the idea that ones vision could be corrected to almost pre-glasses state.... but... i dislike risk... and with a surgery like that... there is always the risk that your eyes may end up getting worse than pre-surgery.... me, i think i'll keep my glasses... i don't want to risk losing my vision... i'm not that vain....

Answer 10

I saw a television program once where a doctor who performs this procedure say he wouldn't do it. He said its too new, and we don't know what these peoples visions are going to be like in twenty years.
