Anyone had Lasik Surgery?

[ezscore]

Was she far-sighted or near-sighted? or both?

And is this a permanent fix or do you have to redo it later on?

She was near-sighted (-10) and it is considered a permanent fix. One of the requirements to meet before she was eligible to have the permanent lense replacement was that your vision ************ could not have changed for the last two years prior to the eye surgery....

I had lasik done a few years ago after wearing contacts for 18 years. It was worth every cent. I had to go without contacts for 30 days before surgery since I had hard contacts, that was the biggest pain. You cant feel a thing, but you keeping thinking you will. The doc had to zap my left eye a little longer and I could see a little smoke rising, but it was cool. Just look at the red dot and it is over before you know it. I would rec. shopping around for a doc that rents a machine, not one that ownes. The ones that rent have the latest machines.

What are tri-focals? I've heard of bi-focals

Bi-focals are 2 separate prescriptions polished into the lens....generally far vision, and 1 for close up (reading).....

I have 3...there's a distance (18"-24") that my vision is blurry with the bifocal prescriptions, thus the need for the third one, in the center of lens....

This is the distance, that while driving, I have to lean forward, or backward, to clearly see the Dashboard gauges, speedometer, etc.........with the Bi-foacals...not with the Tri-focals...

So, if someone threw a baseball to me, I'd have to pick it up visually, 3 times, far, closer, close, to catch it.......

I umpired, High School, and some College BaseBall, for 31 years, and it got real difficult when I had to go to tri-focals...Continued for 3 more years, then hung the "Chest Protector" up......

With my glasses, I have real good vision, without, from any distance, everything is real blurry........

PS---very expensive when buying these bad boys.........kaptain

I actually just had lasik done June 3. You are awake while they do it, the surgery last for about 3 minutes, and is pain free, but is intense, the worst part is the next 12 hours just because everything is so bright but I have no complaints and can see great

I had Lasik surgery done Friday. My surgery was for mono-vision. My right eye is for distance. My left eye is for reading. The brain automatically adjust to the eye that focuses better on the object.

Ten minutes after the surgery I was able to read without glasses. The next morning at my post-op my vision was 20/20.

I highly recommend the surgery. I was painless. The only problem I experienced was the night of the surgery my eyes were super sensitive to light. The next morning I woke with no side effects.

So far my only regret is not having it done years ago.

My surgery was done about 5:30 PM. I was OK till it became dark. Once it was dark out my eyes became super sensitive to any light. I could not keep my eyes open for more than 2 or 3 seconds. They were also tearing a river. My tears were pouring out of my eyes down my cheeks. When I woke the next morning I was ok. It was as if I never had surgery. The first thing I did was turn on the TV. I was able to read the ESPN score ticker with no problems and no glasses.

I was nearsighted til I had the Lasik surgery 3 years ago......very happy with it!!! Beats the hassel of putting on contacts and cleaning it every night and buying supplies every month. Before that I had glasses which I broke several times. The surgery was short and pain-free. What I remember, you were not allowed to get it wet for a week (submerged) after surgery. My sight was awesome with 20/20 vision with no complications. Some people I know complained about seeing rings at night but I did not experience it. I highly recommend it.

Frank, That is how my wife wears her contacts .. One eye for distance and one for reading .. she says she has no problems ...

I am far-sighted but the far is getting weak also ... I think the surgery would be perfect for me ... but damn, I think it takes ca-hones for you to allow anyone to slice into your eye ...

I had it done about 3 years ago. In 1 day my vision went from 20-400 to 20/20. The following week it was 20/15. It was worth every penny.
You are awake during the procedure which is a little scary. They give you option of taking a zanax. What they do is put a ring around your eyeball to hold it still. Then they slice it which is scary because you see nothing but black for a few seconds. Then next you hear a clicking sound which is the laser performing the procedure on your eye. You dont feel a thing.
I highly recommend it.

mark I would need more than zanax hahahaha ... something like chains .. straps.. handcuffs ....
