Re: LASIK Vision Correction
Where I live, there are (at least) two major providers, each who basically claim the other is using inferior older technologies and techniques. I have no clue as to which is better, but eventually I will research it since I think I might want this, too.

Re: LASIK Vision Correction
[ QUOTE ]
how bad is the dry eyes? i detest putting drops in my eyes, will this wind up being an issue? [/ QUOTE ] Dry eyes are like waking up in the morning after a hangover. You have trouble opening up your eyes and focusing correctly and it causes you to keep your eyes closed so that your eyes can try to tear up. If you wear contacts now, imagine yourself wearing contacts and never blinking. Or imagine taking your contacts out and forgetting to put them into saline solution. What happens to the contacts? They dry out and shrivel up. Not using drops WILL be an issue. It's mandatory because the cornea flap is so fragile that you want to keep it moist so that it heals correctly. It's only a month, it's not that bad. As your cornea starts to dry, it begins to shrink and shrivel up. By keeping it moist, you are keeping it from doing that. Not putting in the drops will put strain on the edges where the cornea was cut and it could cause you additional problems. At least that is my take on it.

got it done 2 years ago, recommend it unequivocally. Possibly one of my top 10 life decisions. [/ QUOTE ] I was also 18-19 at the time and they had no problem with me doing it.

Re: LASIK Vision Correction
I had Lasik done in 2002 and love it.
Went from 20/400 to 20/30. Have had problem with dry eyes, but that's about it. (maybe a tad more sensitive to bright lights, but nothing too noticeable)

Re: LASIK Vision Correction
I got it done in April of 2006. No problems whatsoever, other than a mild eye infection, which had nothing to do with the LASIK. My vision is tested for certain at 20/15, and the doctor said that it's likely I am at 20/10.
I had halos around streetlights at night for about a month, but those cleared up by themselves. My night vision is perfectly fine now. The only lingering side effect, if you can call it that, is that my eyes get very heavy if I've been awake for more than fifteen hours. I think they just tired a bit more easily...but hey, I probably need the sleep, anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
