Date: February 18th, 2017 6:17 PM Author: trip community account coffee pot I had it done, completely 180, best $1800 I've ever spent. The surgeons charging $3-$5k are snake oil salesmen.
Only downside is that I can't focus within 6 inches of my eyes anymore, but the clarity from mid/long distance was like comparing SDTV to HDTV. |

And you won't handle the inevitable presbyopia as well, either. |

Why not just stick with contacts |
Date: February 18th, 2017 5:58 PM Author: violet angry kitty cat native yeah it's 180
I had horrible 20/200 vision though and had to wear contacts or glasses at all times. 7 years later my eyes aren't quite 20/20 anymore but only by a bit so I'm happy |

Date: February 18th, 2017 6:07 PM Author: Rusted School Cafeteria were you near or far sighted? would you go back to get a second surgery to get back to 20/20? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3530121&forum_id=2#32651382) |

Maybe in 10-15 years or something; PRK seems to be a better follow-up than having a second LASIK (longer recovery time though, about a week to see decent and much longer to fully heal) and has improved a lot/gotten cheaper since I had LASIK. I wouldn't be bothered at all picking up a pair of nighttime reading glasses--its having to wear glasses or contacts all the damn time which really sucked. I think 90% of people have the same level of visual acuity they had with glasses/contacts seven years out, which is pretty damn good.
It's true that 20/20 7 years out isn't likely, but many people who have LASIK in the first place can't hit 20/20 with glasses or contacts, so comparing eyesight level to what you can achieve with glasses is a better metric. |

To be able to trsvel, swim, play sports, go overnight somewhere without having to worry about glasses or contacts was the most 180 feeling in the world. |
|
Date: February 18th, 2017 6:05 PM Author: Sienna charismatic theater There's some admittedly rare cases of the corneal flap coming dislodged or separating, even years after the procedure. Typically after some kind of sports injury.
Only reason I haven't had it done. |

A study of army service members who had refractive surgery found the incidence of flap dislocation to be 0.085% (1/1174 eyes). The Wills Eye Institute reported a higher incidence of 2.75% (3/109 patients) in referrals of patients dissatisfied with LASIK."

My eyes are drier now and I use eye drops at work once a day or so. Still overall I'm very happy. |

Date: February 20th, 2017 4:21 PM Author: drunken fantasy-prone den tattoo Biggest reason I haven't done this is dry eye can get much worse...Which can cause vein overgrowth/red eyes....
At least with contacts I can just take them out and my eyes feel fine. With LASIK dry eye can be debilitating and permanent. |
