Laser eye surgury?

The light comes on automatically. When he's done, the light turns out.

(Or it could be that he's going pee in the fridge again...)

urmmm there is a window right next to my bed so I just water the plants late at night............j/k

 

I did it over a year ago and have not regretted it for a second. Here were the issues I had :

1. The surgery takes about 40 seconds an eye.
2. There is some pain within 40 mins of the surgery for about an hour - definately take a two hour nap after surgery.
3. After the nap you can see fairly well but still a little blurry.
4. The day after is like a brand new start. I had 20/20 day after surgery.
5. I had dry eyes for about 30 days and had to use drops 3-4 times a day
6. Had halos and glares for about 30-45 days.
7. Had 20/15 within a week of surgery.
8. 1.5 years later - no halos, dry eyes or any negative side effects with the exception of one - my eyes are more sensitive to the sun and bright light.

It was the best 3000.00 I spent...

 

How long till you can drive/work/go back to life?

 

Asmo, I have had it done. I had 20/300 with very bad stigmatism (doctor checking the eyes even said Whoa when he first examined them) I got the new machine for my surgery, 15 minutes and both eyes where done, completly mapped the eye and smoothed it all out and set it all up! I now see 20/20 and I have had no Sight related headaches for a year (was a daily thing)

The first month was hard to get used to (for someone who gets headaches from blury vision you train your eyes to defocus when your not wearing glasses) I would see something clear then it would go fuzzy as my eyes would defocus because I didn't have on glasses. Took a while to get past that. Your not as old as I was so you should get over that pretty quick. Swimming, driving, using telescope or camera's is so much better now. I also have NO halo's at night (had them before the surgery though!)

 

My uncle had the surgery done as well, and has also reported nothing but good news from it. I am considering it as well, though i will probably wait until i am at least 21.

 

When I took a vision test in elementary school, I was told I was seeing better then 20/20

I also see near-perfectly at night and still have a weird depth perception in totally dark conditions.

/me flashes eyeshine hehe

 

20/20 vision is perfect vision for the AVERAGE human being. Certain individuals will, by defenition, exceed this mark. As it happens, i generally get the optomitrist to adjust my glasses to a better mark than 20/20 whenever i get a new perscription myself (just takes a bit of patience is all).

 

Hope the best for you, Asmo!!!

 

Good luck Asmo!

My wife had the surgery once...unsuccessfully. Unfortunately she was the lucky 1 out of 1000 who had complications. She couldn't stop moving around...which is a big no no.

She is determined to get it right (she's worn glasses all her life) and she is going back tomorrow for her second time to try the lazer surgery.

 

Good Luck

Im sure itll work out fine and you'll be very happy. We'll keep you our thoughts and prayers.
