Laser eye surgery how safe and how long does it last?


any one out there had laser eye surgery

Had mine 6 years ago & never regretted it. The results for short sight are permanent, but will not mean that you may eventually need reading glasses (long sight). the results are not guaranteed however and you must realise that you may still need to wear glasses albeit at a lower prescription than before. My sight went from 'milk bottle' glasses to virtually 20/20. Mine was done by Optimax in Finchley N.London, but they have places around the UK - I would recommend them, but you have to understand the potential results and accept them - I took 10 years to make a decision!! Good luck!

yeah, I had it 2 years ago and it's brilliant. I had it in Manchester and had the "scrape" the cornea not the "cut into the cornea" kind of treatment (yeah, doesn't sound great huh)and it was REALLY painful for 2 days. After that though, it's been great and I'm thankful for it almost every day. No worries at all since I had it done. As for safety, the stats are pretty convincing.

here is a good resource explaining lasik/risks/complications and cost.

If I have it done, I definitely will need to use reading glasses. That's because I'm in my 40s. No thanks. I already use reading glasses when I have my contacts on and I hate them. Even so, I don't see close up as well as I do when I'm not wearing anything. For younger people who are nearsighted, this is your future. Unlike many people my age, I have been able to retain my near vision and I'm sure it has to do with my condition. I know I would lose it if I got laser eye surgery and I don't want to risk it.
