I'm thinking about getting my eyes laser so I no longer have to wear contacts, what do you think about your surgery? Was it worth it?

Depends on how bad your eyes are in order to justify the considerable expense. I had it down for 2500 per eye - and can see a lot better - but one possible side effect is: dry eye syndrome: chronic dry eyes. Also, if you have it done - you can not be an organ donor of your eyes. Interesting, no?

It is worth only if you hav a power >=+4. If it is lesser than that then you are under risk. Laser can repture ur cornea if the pwr is too low. any way, this surgery costs abt 20000 for one eye.

Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
