To Lasik or not to Lasik...that is my question.?

I am thinking about getting Lasik Surgery done. Does anyone know the going rate, and what all it entails?? I am kind of fearful about it, as I have heard that it is quite freaky.

I got mine done about 9 months ago and love it. It cost me 2200 per eye with the wavefront technology measurements, and well worth the money. If you have never worn contacts the surgery might be nerve racking to have work done so close to your eyes. But if you are comfortable with putting in contacts then you'll have no problem with the surgery. There wasn't any pain with the surgery at all. My left eye had perfect vision within a couple of days and my right eye took two weeks to heal to 20/20. Both eyes are 20/20 now.

well it depends on what kind of eye doctor thats going to be doing the surgery. you have to make sure he is a good one. and what they do is they cut some of the pupil and fold it back so they can use a laser to correct your vision. I've seen a 16 month old child have this done before...if they can do it than you can.

I heard it was around three hundred per eye. If I was you I would check them out really careful and only have one eye done at a time. Good Luck

few issues you need to look at - the doctor and the facilities.
Honestly following my research and interviews .. Lasik is really safe ..and very high success rates...you can get home on the same day ..

Please note that the doctor does not cut the pupil, they are cutting the top layers of the cornea and making a flap. After the laser, the flap is replaced and smoothed.

I was about 20/250 before Lasik surgery last year. The procedure was painless, probably due to the Valium they gave me. The ride home (as a passenger, of course) was fairly uncomfortable, mainly due to light sensitivity. The doctor gave me dark goggles, but the light was still too bright. I was in some pain once I got home (maybe 3 hours post procedure), but I had some left over Vicodin, and took two doses of that. The Vicodin took the edge off. Slept fine that night. Woke up the next morning, and I COULD SEE FINE! Hallelujah! I was jazzed up about that. I drove myself to my one day check up (an 2 hour round trip) with no problems. For that check up, I was seeing at 20/25, less than 24 hours after the surgery. I went to work that afternoon (doing ultrasound which really requires you to use your eyes). For my one week check up, I was seeing between 20/20 and 20/15. Other than the touch of pain I had post procedure, before I went to bed for the night, I had no other problems. I would do it again in a heartbeat! No more glasses, no more contacts, no more cleaning solutions and saline!

Just one other thing....I went to a doctor who used computerized, lazer equipment. No knives were involved. But, it cost me a pretty penny. I paid $5500 for both eyes, but I was not comfortable going to a doctor that advertized in the newpaper for $500 per eye. Sometimes you get what you pay for! Good luck to you!
