Her surgeon is being cagey about what caused it - is it just a coincidence?

What is it with these laser eye correction treatments ? Hi, It just that I see quite clearly adverts for £400 per eye to have things adjusted using laser. All very well, I suppose, but I had increasingly blurred vision due to getting older, so the NHS, bless them, have fitted new "bionic" (ie soft plastic) lenses, and now I will never have to wear specs again. Freebies, and a fine job, and £800 not spent, apart from the multitude of NI contributions that I have made over many years, so fair play. One company boasts that they have done 500,000 operations. So that nets them about £200 million so far. Have you had this done or considered it being done ? I see it (no pun) as a bit of a rip-off Any thoughts ? Bob

Laser eye surgery: Post op symptoms for long-sightedness correction? Hi. I was wondering what the general symptoms are for people who have had corrective laser eye surgery and whom were long sighted. I hear for short -sighted people their vision is near 20/20 almost immediately, whereas long-sighted people it takes a lot longer after the operation to get full vision clarity back.

I hear for long-sighted people who have it, it can be anything up to 12 months.

Basically how dangerous is the surgery?

My eyes aren't "normal". Is there any way I could be a candidate for laser correction? okay. long story short...I was born with lazy eye and had surgery to correct it when i was 5. along with the lazy eye i didn't have periphial vision, so they attempted to correct that as well. as time went on i've noticed that i still have the lazy eye, just not as bad. if you look at me in the eyes you can catch it from time to time, especially when i'm tired. i've worn glasses since i was about 9, and every eye doctor i've gone to has told me that i cannot wear contacts because my eyes don't have a focal point. so if i were to wear contacts i'd see 2 of everything, because my eyes don't work together. is that something that laser eye surgery could correct, or am i stuck with glasses for the rest of my life?

Have you had eye laser surgery for vision correction? or know someone who has? i am looking to get it done... any input is great, thanks! ~ tired of wearing glasses~

Does anyone know of any other alternatives to sight correction, other than eye laser surgery? Bearing in mind that I am 14, and my eye sight is really bad and getting worse. EVERY time I go to the opticians, they tell me that my eyes are getting worse. When I was younger my eyes were never that bad and whenever the opticians gave me glasses (for reading), I would chuck them away. When my dad became aware of this he said that I have to wear my glasses. Since then my eyes have been getting worse and worse. I am really tired of glasses and i don't want contact lenses and i'm tired of getting a headache after getting new, thicker glasses. which would u recomend glasses or contacts??

How much does Lasik/ Laser vision correction cost? I recently won a raffle for a free laser surgery, they are sending me a certificate for $1000. I'm pretty sure that it is going to cost more than that for both eyes. I know is is more expensive the worse your vision. I have -5.15 apx. in both eyes, no Astigmitism. Can anyone tell me how much it cost you? Please no, ''... I'd guess its about $xxx...'' and I'm not going to fly to India to have it done. Thanks in advance to all of you who help. I know to research the place and check it out before I commit to anything. I've looked online for costs, but everything I find says I'd need a consultation. I have one scheduled with this place on July 12th, and I'd like to have an idea before going in. I just want a ball- park number from people who have had it done.

Laser Eye Surgery - Should I Still Hope For Postoperatory Improvements? I underwent laser eye surgery on both eyes 6 weeks ago, for correction of astigmatism on the right eye and a slight miopy (-0,50) on the left. I would be very happy with the results but the following thing scares me: in bright daylight, my vision is almost perfect, which is a high improvement compared to the previous "quality" of my vision. However, if I enter a room with a lower light (neons or a room that's only half lit by natural daylight) my vision gets much worse, which is pretty depressing. I mean, outdoor I can see the details of a far object/person without any trouble, while indoor it gets problematic even with short distances. Is there a possibility that these problems will go away after waiting a little longer (doctors still prescribed eyedrops until september) or should I already start trying to get used to this new situation? Things would be really great without the low light problems, which are more than noticeable. Thank you very much for reading this!

Could you please list all available medical procedures for eye correction other than lasik? Thank you.
