Lasik Eye Surgery

Roof asked:


I’ve been wanting lasik eye surgery for a long while now coz I’m so sick of contacts and glasses. Is there monthly payments or payment in full? And will getting lasik get rid of astigmatism, or lazy eyes as well??

My husband is being told that he has to remain in the hospital for a full 4 days after having LASIK done.

I have never heard about it being an inpatient procedure before. Is he getting scammed by the clinic?

I’m a student, early 20s. I’ve heard lots of positive feedback about Lasik, even my doctor says it changed her life. But how old should I get it–they say you should be older. How much older?

Does everybody know the down time for lasik surgery? Alot of people say they have their eyes perfectly good after 24hrs but my friend had it and it has been 5 days and she is still seeing blurry. She cant see far away and cant see closebye either. Does anybody know?

I have my mother’s degrading eyesight. My eyesight is still degrading until I’m 20 or so but right now. I’m 16 and my eyesight right now is left 20/345 Right 20/320. So what is the best as in what happens after Lasik or the other surgeries?

Had -7.50 on each eye, went smoothly, NO PAIN during or after and I see perfectly! Afterwards I felt as though I had a contact lense placed upside down in my eye for 8 hrs (uncomfortable I found, but NOT painful) some people may have had bad experiences but mine wasnt!

I am in the mid 20’s consider Lasik, but i heard some side effect such as had problem in night vision, should I wait few more years maybe a safer and better technology will come out? What age should do Lasik before is too late?

John asked:


In other words, after overhead expenses, how much profit does the average LASIK surgeon take home from each procedure? I realize this figure will vary greatly depending on circumstances, but I am looking for a general idea - perhaps a range. Thanks for your help.

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.

Meg asked:


I am having lasik surgery in the morning, and I was wondering what to expect immediately after I get home. I know I am supposed to nap most of the day, but what about when I am not napping? will I be able to see? Will I be in pain?
