Lasik Long Term Risks
Should I consider having Lasik Surgery to improve my eyesight?
I have always had poor eyesight. I have worn glasses all my life. Since I was five. I have a stigmatism so contacts are not recommended. My glasses are really thick and heavy. Is it a long term or temporary fix? What are the risks?
Honestly, its better you consult a specialist to find out what’s best for you. I really want to help but I don’t think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.
good luck
Love is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

i had it done a few years ago at TLC. they have a website and they are the ones that did Tiger Woods eyes. It was not cheap but if you try to find cheap you get less quality. i chose quality over price. mine was four thousand dollars. they will set you up a payment plan. i was 20/200 in both eyes and now i am 20/25 and 20/30. no more glasses or contacts. with TLC if you ever need it done again if your eyes change it is free, so you are paying for a lifetime of eye care. it did not hurt at all. they give you Valium just to make you not nervous. i told them later i was scared so they gave me another Valium. i liked that so i told them again i was scared and i got another one. when i went into the room to get it done i was stoned. i do remember everything because you are awake. they had like two machines and you were in a reclining chair. they put some foam pillows beside your head so you will not move around. he tells you everything he is going to do and what is going to happen so you will know and not be worried. he told me this part…and it was the scariest part but i knew it was coming ….that when he did one of the steps i would not be able to see for a few seconds. he was right. the whole thing was less than five minutes and when he was through the nurse set me up and pointed to a clock on the other side of the room and asked me what time it was. i could see it perfectly. i would do it again without even thinking about it. it is like i bought a miracle. i have to put lubricating drops in my eyes in the mornings when i wake up and that is all….great vision
