Lasik Eye Surgery

Denise asked:


I had a lasik consultation 2 days ago. My eyes were dilated and some other test were done which required the tech to numb my eye and basically poke it to check the thickness of my cornea. The very next day my eyes still appeared dilated, my vision is doubled, and my left eye appears to be turned inward (crosseyed). I’ve called the lasik office and left 2 messages for someone to contact me. So far no one has. Is this normal?!?!

Green Eyes asked:


I have worn contacts since the 5th grade and they are starting to dry out my eyes. I would like to get the Lasik surgery, but I want to make sure it is an option I can afford. I’m sure there is financing available.

For the record, this is in Houston, Texas. I am not interested in going elsewhere for the surgery.
Also, I need the surgery because I have astigmatism, and I’m nearsighted.
I’m 23 years old. I know, the 5th grade comment made me sound really young.

Does anyone have any idea who invented the Lasik to correct nearsightedness? Is it recorded somewhere?

Bladeless Epi-LASIK (EpiLASIK) can be performed on patients not qualifying for LASIK. This surgery is less vulnerable to trauma and no flap complications have been reported. Many feel contrast sensitivity is superior to LASIK and that Epi-LASIK does not produce as much dry eye or other visual disturbances. Dr. James Lewis has performed Epi-LASIK for several years with excellent results.

lostinabook24 asked:


I’ve been wondering about Lasik, but I’m really squeemish with my eyes; I can’t even put contacts in because it freaks me out so much. So here’s my question: Can you be anesthetized during Lasik?

I haven’t even decided if I want to have it done, and if I do, it won’t be done anytime soon.

I just want to know if I should keep considering it.

Any help would be appreciated!

How long should your vision be at a stable point and not change anymore before you get Lasik surgery?

AlanIH asked:


I heard that if you have LASIK surgery, you can no longer ride a rollercoaster, pilot an airplane, or even ride a car with the top down. The so-called reason is that the flap in your eye created by the laser might open up again or come loose in the event of high-G forces or gusts of wind. Is this really true? I love roller coasters but am thinking about getting LASIK myself and would love to know the true answer to this myth.
