How likely are you to need a "touch-up" procedure after a LASIK surgery? Assuming after a healing period following surgery that you are in the area of 20/20, in good health, and previously suffered from mild to moderate near-sightness only? How often are touch-up's needed? Despite the relative newness of true Lasik technology, am I safe to assume 20+ years down the road most will not need it?

What does the future hold for LASIK eye surgery? I'm going to school to become a commercial pilot. Obviously my career depends on being able to see 20/20 with or without correction (I'm 20/200 without contacts, slight astigmatism). I'm 30 years now but have considered eye surgery my entire life. (even RK back in the day). Obviously technology has improved by leaps and bounds. When LASIK rolled out I thought how could it get better than this? My best friend is a MD and he told me to hold off for a few years (this was 4-5 years ago) and now we have custom wavefront LASIK. I have had friends who've had both done with excellent results. Now with wavefront LASIK advancements, what else is on the horizon??? Are some stellar new techniques currently being developed that will roll out in the next 4-5 years? My eye doctor is suggesting PRK. Night vision problems could also end my career. I've heard there is less chance of reduced night vision (halos /startbursts) with PRK. The NAVY only allows PRK surgery for their pilots.

There doesn't seem to be any real cure of people with poor eye sight. Their eye sight will always get worse. Is poor eye sight a condition that is not treatable? All the eye doctor does is get a person stronger glasses over their life time. If Lasik Eye Surgery is close to a cure for poor eye sight why doesn't the insurance companies approve of it?

My lasik conundrum? My dry eye doctor is also a lasik surgeon, and he claims that I am perfectly eligible for no-blade lasik. Here’s why I’m skeptical: my scrimers score is 10 in my right eye, and 13 in my left. I have blepharitis which at this point is so bad I can’t wear contacts. My prescription is -7.25 in both eyes in my glasses. Considering that I have read that a year after Lasik, half of your corneal nerves are still ‘dead’, am I crazy to follow his advice and get lasik? Does the no-blade really make that much of a difference? He seems to think that once the blepharitis is under control, I should be fine for lasik, as long as my corneas are deep enough. Any professionals/people who have had no blade lasik have any input?

PSC Removal & LASIK Question? I'm a 24 y.o. male with Posterior Subcapsular Cataract removed and a ArcySof Toric IOL implanted in the left eye, and Tissue-Saving LASIK in the right done to compensate for the high myopia and Astigmatism difference between both eyes done. VA tests done showed the following: PRE-LASIK Right Eye: SPH: -8.25 CYL: -3.50 AXS: 5 (degree) POST-LASIK Right Eye: SPH: +0.25 CYL: -2.00 AXIS: 155 (degrees) Q: Is this a good outcome from the tissue-saving LASIK procedure? Would enhancement be likely required to achieve best glasses-free vision? POST AcrySof Toric IOL Left Eye: SPH: +1.25 CYL: Nil AXIS: Nil Q: Is this a good outcome for IOL implant? Why is distance vision still blurry (even the LASIK eye seems slightly better)? Would LASIK or any corrective procedure be required for this eye to achieve best glasses-free vision? Q: What does my post procedure eye prescription means? Am I farsighted in both eyes with astigmatism of -2.00 in the right (LASIK) eye as well? Please advise

Lasik or PRK surgery for contact sports? I've considered having Lasik surgery to correct my vision. When I went to an informaiton session they talked about Lasik and PRK. The doctors suggested PRK for people who do contact sports (I'm active in martial arts, boxing and hockey). They said that the flap from the Lasik surgery could be jarred lose in contact sports. Has anybody had this experience? Or have you had Lasik and still participate in contact sports with no problems?

Can Lasik be preformed after PRK? I had PRK 12 years ago, can I have LASIK now? I had corrective eye surgery in 1996. At the time it was PRK as Lasik was a brand new procedure. Since then my eyes have gotten worse so I really need glasses to drive. Since Lasik is now pretty reasonably priced. I was wondering if Lasik can be done over PRK? I was a very good candidate for the PRK back in the day with strong thick corneas, so I’m assuming they are still OK. Thanks! Jim J

glasses or lasik touch up? i had lasik surgery 2 and a half years ago and i had 20/20 vision after that. i just had my first eye exam after lasik last week and my optometrist said that my left eye is still 20/20 but my right is already 20/60 so i would need glasses to drive. i called the eye center where i had lasik and they wont do the touch up for free anymore since it more than 2 yrs ago. should i just get the glasses instead? will these prescription glasses correct my vision back to 20/20? or should i do the touch up? what is gonna happen after the touch up? i worry that i might be doing a touch up every 2-3 years and the eye center is charging 1800 per eye for the touch up-its like having lasik all over again! i paid 4800 for my lasik. can i have my touch up done in some place cheaper?

I am 24 years old, female , just finish university.

Post-Pharco Cataract & LASIK? I had pharco cataract surgery 2 months ago for PSC with a AcrySof Toric IOL. My vision now is +1.25 with minimal Astigmatism at -0.50. My questions are: Would LASIK or Piggy-back IOL be recommended to correct my small amount of refractive error? Would the LASIK just correct my distant vision or would it also enable me to see near objects clearly as well? Just need to clarify since I know that with cataract surgery, my focusing ability is now gone, so would LASIK be advisable for just +1.25 of distant error if this is the case? Also, newer LASIK technology now enables Presbyopia to be corrected. Since Presbyopia is the degeneration of focusing ability of the eye on near objects, would such LASIK help the focusing ability of my IOL implanted eye in anyway? Or would I be able to only correct refractive error of one distant only, and will still need glasses for other distances? Thanks!

lasik treatment or any advanced give u r suggestions? I wear glasses for past 5 years. Is there any way to get rid of glass? My friend told me to go for lasik.

Pls tell me which is advanced in lasik (zyoptix).what will be the cost for doing it. tell me approximately. If you tell that it can be cured naturally means pls tell me what type exercise and food habits which I should follow.

Lasik vs. intralasik? My wife is contemplating getting lasik surgery. We were talking to the surgeon that her normal eye doctor recommended about doing the surgery. My wife read an article about “intralasik”, which apparently uses a laser to cut the flap rather than a machine. We asked the surgeon we had been talking to about intralasik, and he doesn’t do it. My wife is intent on doing intralasik rather then regular lasik, so we have been doing some research and the only place we could find in town that does it was a place called “Luna eye center”. It makes me nervous because they are always advertising discount rates for half the price that the other surgeon was going to charge. I have heard that you get what you pay for when it comes to lasik. Does using a better procedure make up for the fact that the doctor at a cut-rate eye center may not be as experienced as a pricier doctor? Just to summarize. Is the difference between lasik and intralasik big enough to justify going to a less reputable doctor in order to get intralasik vs. regular lasik at a more reputable doctor?

Lasik with blood vessels and -8.00 contact prescription? I am 23 years old and have been wearing contact lenses and glasses since I was in first grade (so since I was 6). My contact lens prescription is currently a -8.00 in both eyes. I'm going for my annual exam tomorrow to see if they've changed. I was going to ask the doctor about Lasik while I was there but I figured I'd ask for some information on here first. Is my prescription easily correctable or is it too severe to get 20/20 vision from Lasik? Also, I was told I have blood vessels growing onto my cornea from wearing my contact lenses for too long (I did this as a kid; since I found out it is detrimental to my eyes I've only worn my contacts for probably 5 hours everyday tops). Will this cause a problem with the Lasik procedure?

Lasik Eye Surgery? Has anyone had Lasik Eye Surgery? I've had glasses for about 10 years now, and i'm quite comfortable with them. I'd love to move on to contacts, but my mom and dad (my dad is an opthalmologist, an eye doctor) said i should just have Lasik done. My dad is friends with one of the top lasik people in the country that he'll take me to. Does anyone have any experience with this? Has anyone gotten the surgery done? I'm wondering what it's like, do you like it better than contacts? And did it hurt when they cut your eye open? Lol. Thanks! P.S. I don't think it's a very good idea, seeing as i'm only 18, but my dad says it doesn't really matter. I mean, i believe him somewhat (since he is an eye doctor, after all), but i'm sill not sure.

After 3 lasik custom vues, what are the chances PRK will fix the double vision that lasik caused? My astigmatism was the cause caused some distortions in my left eye. After seeing multiple doctors, Lasik Custom Vue appeared to be the best option. All doctors I saw said I was a candidate. After the 1st surgery from my referred 1st Doctor, the vision became blurry. The doctor seemed baffled, so I switch to a more reputable doctor. He proceeded to give me a surgery after an appointment with Stanford's University Director of Opthamology. Both agreed I could be operated on again. I didn't see much improved(from my perspective) The vision went to double accompanied by light sensitivity and blurriness. The doctors reviewed my post-op condition and agreed that another operation could help. After my 3rd surgery, The vision seemed equally bad and the double vision almost seemed like triple at some points. Now, the doctor says that the results from lasik aren't working and he thinks I should try PRK. I am worried that PRK won't be able to correct the double vision that Lasik created!!

Can Lasik surgery cause cataracts or astigmatism? I had lasik about 2 years ago. It was great for about 6 weeks then starting degressing. I told the doctor and he kept saying wait....now he says I can't get the lasik redone, I have the start of a cataract and asigmatisim. Never had either of those before. Can lasik cause those?

Vision Standards for Infantry, Lasik in the Army? I already have an Infantry contract and ship out 2008 July 31. I am just curious to know what the minimum vision is for Infantry. I know the minimum for the military is -8.00 diopters to +8.00 diopters. I have pretty bad vision..Not that bad! Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the minimum standards are for combat jobs like infantry? Also, any information about LASIK in the Army would be greatly appreciated. I plan on trying to get LASIK in the Army. For LASIK, do you just go to a regular LASIK surgeon and the Army pays for it, or do they have their own? What if you went to your own, to avoid waiting lists, would that get you in trouble, would you have to pay for it? How long do you think the waiting list for Infantry is to get LASIK, since I heard the waiting list differs depending on your MOS. I know thats a lot of questions but any help is greatly appreciated. And again, I was just curious about finding out the answers. God Bless our Troops.

Is LASIK for me with my condition? I know i should ask a doctor but i'm trying to just get a sense whether my condition is too bad for lasik based on any of your experiences. I have astigmatism...i have a -2 in my left which means it is a good candidate for lasik but my right eye has severe astigmatism with -5...so i was wondering if its possible to still get LASIK or maybe just special contact lenses I hate wearing glasses and im a risk taker.just want opinions THANKS!

Thanks in advance

Contacts or Lasik? Ok so I've been wearing glasses lately and for a while I just wore them to work or when I was using a computer or watching tv. My eye sight has gotten worse and I feel like I have to wear them all the time now and it really sucks. I get head aches if I don't wear them so it really isn't an option not to wear them even though I can still see pretty decently without them. I'm far sighted and I have a stigmatism in both my eyes. I thought about getting contacts and getting lasik and I want to get lasik! I'm thinking the cost of contacts will over time end up being the same as just getting the lasik done and then I won't have the hastle of putting contacts on and off each day! Am I correct or do you think I should just put up with contacts?

Astigmatism and Lasik? I have had the privilege of wearing glasses for almost 30 years because I was lucky enough to have astigmatism and near sightedness. Yeah!! <Hope you can read the sarcasm I wrote this with> I am seriously considering Lasik treatment to correct my vision. I am scheduled for a consult in a few weeks. A general search on line gives both all the wonder stories about how Lasik changed 'my life' and conversely how Lasik robbed 'me of my night vision.' I've read the theories and procedures and have a degree of comfort understanding them. My question is: Has anyone with astigmatism and nearsightedness had the procedure? What were the results? Do you regret it? Would you recommend it? Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated. It will be nice to read comments from 'real people' and not from company advertising. Thanks Scott (39 years old)

I HAD LASIK 10 DAYS AGO and my vision is STILL BLURRY? I am a little freaked out here so I am hoping to hear from others who have had LASIK. I use all the eye drops (Pred Forte and artificial tears), but my vision is still blurry although better than before. My up close vision is blurry too. So, has anyone had LASIK and had not so good results? Did you get better with time. I am scared. Please only reply if you have had LASIK. I have gone back to the doctor twice. They gave me more eyedrops and say "dry eye." I was told that some people take longer than others. Some see the next day. Some take 2-3 weeks. I don't have any halos. Just blurriness up close and far away. I was -3.00 in right eye and -3.75 in left eye. I was 20/200 before (I think). I've heard success stories from people with much worse vision than me.

Lasik Surgeon? I'm thinking about Lasik surgeon. Who are the good doctors for Lasik surgeon? How much does it cost for the surgeon? Thank you very much.

Lasik Surgery? I have a serious eye phobia but an considering Lasik surgery. Has anyone had Lasik done and what were your concerns before and after the procedure? And, are you glad you did it?

Lasik surgery through the military? I'm in the Navy, serving in the reserves. My vision is less than perfect. I want to get Lasik surgery. I've heard of the military giving Lasik surgery to soldiers going overseas. I've asked around at my local command but no one seems to know anything. Does anyone know where or how I can get the military to perforn the procedure? Thank you.

LASIK Sugery in Singapore? I am thinking of going for Lasik surgery, but not sure where to go. There's a few places that I know of. Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), Lasik Surgery Clinic at Paragon, and Mt. Elizabeth Medical Centre. Any recommandations on which one should I go to??

Which is safer? "Traditional" Lasik or All-Laser Lasik? I have been researching Lasik eye correction, and some sites say that all-Laser Lasik isn't good because it creates "cavitation" bubbles in the corneal flap to expose the cornea. Which is safer - the traditional method that removes the corneal flap with a blade, or the laser method? What (if any) are the long-term ramifications of all-laser? Are there any "starlight" or reduced night-vision issues with all-laser, over and above the normal Lasik issues?

Lasik or migraine? I had Lasik surgery 4 months ago. My vision (left eye) has regressed during the healing process and I plan to get an adjustment done in 2-3 months. My right eye is still 20/20 or close. I got temporary glasses to wear for driving. Yesterday my left eye got very blurry, as though my vision had gotten much worse very quickly. What I mean is that I wasn't seeing shadows, or ghosts...it just appeared that I needed stronger glasses. MUCH stronger. This lasted from about 5 pm (when I noticed it) till nearly midnight when I went to sleep. When I woke up, my vision was back to "normal." (R-20/20 and L-20/60) I called my eye dr who told me he thinks I suffered an "opthalmic migraine." I've had migraines before and have had the visual side effects, such as white spots, a blind spot, stars and such. But they never last long -- certainly not 6 hours or more. Any thoughts? Anyone experienced something similar? My eye doc doesn't think it's lasik related, but I'm not sure.

Lasik eye surgery? Im getting lasik on my eyes this sat for $3100. Im 29 and my vision has been stable for 2 years now. Doctor says I have large pupils. My prescription is -5.5 diopters for my right eye and -5.0 diopters for my left eye.Has anybody had lasik done? How long ago? Cost? Any complications? How well can you see?

What are the post lasik results of people who had pre lasik scripts of more than -6.00? I recently had Lasik a week ago with a a pre-lasik prescription of -6.5 to -7.00 with astigmatism. I would like to know of the experiences/results of people who have had the procedure done, with a similar pre-script grade like mine. I am currently still experiencing haloes, reduction in visual sharpness (blurriness) in low light areas & close up, & occasionally distance reading. I would like to know how long it took for others to recover, or if they have needed retreatment post lasik?

Lasik Eye Surgery? Do you need to be a certain age to get Lasik? And around how much does it cost? And where are some good places to get Lasik? Yes people I am only 16 but i have already tried contacts as well as glasses and my mom wanted me to find out more about lasik because contacts are ruining my left eye and im practically going blind in that eye, not from not taking care of my contacts because i have had contacts since i was in 6 years now but the optometrist said one of my eyes is not good for contacts.

Lasik results not optimal, need advice? I had Lasik surgery 5 months ago. My right eye was corrected for distance and my left eye for reading. Vision has stabilized with the following attributes: Vision good most of the time but by the end of the day, my eyes are a litle tired and distance vision is a bit blurry--in addition to this, there sometimes appears to be competiton between my eyes for focus (again only at the end of the day). Is this a common problem? What should I do--should I have the left eye re-corrected for distance? Lasik dr suggested glasses but that would obvioulsy be a last resort that I would hope to avoid

Lasik Eye Surgery (halos around light)? I had standard lasik eyes surgery a week ago. I am doing good, but I see halos at night around the lights and it really gets to me. My doctor said they would go away in time. I was wondering if anyone else had the experience with lasik and if so how long before the halos go away. thanks

Lasik eye surgery? I had lasik done in 1999, and I have a permanent side effect called star bursts (i.e. halos around lights, mainly at night or in low light conditions). If I have lasik done again in the future, is there a possibility that this side effect could be correct?
