Hey everybody,i'm really looking for some feedback on lasik eye surgery. I just got into researching it after spending 20+ years with annoying glasses and contacts. Any info or personal eperiences would be greatly appreciated!

I undergo a Lasik surgery last year, but it was a tough decision for me because my girl told me that im too young to undergo such surgery (she's referring to the risk involved in the said surgery) but a friend of mine already did it 2 years priory to my LASik and he shared his knowledge and informed the risk pros and cons about LASik. He also mentioned that as with any surgical procedures, there are risk associated with LAsik, but in the hand of highly skilled and experience surgeon. Reason I made up a decision that im going to do it. For almost 20 years i suffered astigmatism and ive been wearing contact lens for almost half of my life, made me not to do things to the fullest. After surgery for 2 months I experienced night side effects (halos) but after that, I able to see 2020 without the help of neither glasses nor contacts. The best part of it is I can now do things to the fullest like diving and some stuff that I like to do since I was young. I consider having LASik a wonderful and a life changing experience to me. Im very proud and contented with my life right now and I feel good and look good about it. It's a life changing for me. Thanks to (promotional link removed)

had lasik in late december...saw 20/20 the next day and I asked if I could read the 20/15 line....got them all so I see 20/15. Did leave a bruise on my eye that is commonplace and went away after about a week. Feel great....no more contacts....no problem swimming now.

I got LASIK way back in 2008. Fairly painless, haven't had any problems yet. I had it done in Washington State. Very glad I did. As always, just make sure you get a really good surgeon, but that goes double in this case; you can fix a botched nose job or hair transplant, but losing your eyesight in one eye from an inexperienced or cut-rate doc is permanent. Make sure you go for the best here.

I did it three years ago and is one of the best things I've ever done. Since I was 8 years old I wore glasses and by the time I had my eyes done I needed my glasses just to get out of bed so I wouldn't accidentally walk off the balcony and fall several floors to my death.

For anyone considering this be sure to look at the difference types of laser available. LASIK sounds great but if you are into physical sports, SCUBA or any activity that puts you through a few G forces you should get PRK. It's the older version of laser eye surgery but it does not involve any physical cutting of the eye. They simply dissolve the epithelealal tissue on the eye, zap it, then over the course of two weeks the tissue regrows over your cornea and you're done. I've not damn near 20/20 vision.

If you are not into contact sports or any of the above mentioned activities then LASIK is fine. They do cut the cornea, lift it, then zap it. The reason why this is not good for those that perform rough activities is that the cut on the eye compromises the ability to handle pressure, both atmospheric (SCUBA) and physical (boxing). Your cornea can literally become detached but the upside is that your vision is fine in 24 hours. With PRK, you can see, but for two weeks (for me it was about 8 days) your vision is kind of milky. I was happy with the trade off so now I don't have to worry about restricting my outdoors activities.

I had PRK done when I was stationed in North Carolina back in 2005 from a civilian doctor outside of my base. To this day, I have 20/10 vision. If I would have gotten LASIK, the military would have disqualified me for Flight Status. They do, however, accept PRK. Prior to my surgery, I was around -3.00 or a little more in each eye, don't remember. Your eyesight has to be stable for one year in order to get PRK.
