I’m one of the 5% who is not satisfied. I’ve had nothing but pain and problems for the past 3 years post-lasik. No cure for the problems. No end “in sight”. It’s terrible!

  That 21% of people with dry eyes can be treated with Restasis…Custom lasik treats people with larger pupils. I had custom lasik done due to my large pupils, and Restasis is getting rid of my dry eyes.
• The risks are …
  The risks are actually higher than 5%. Six months after LASIK, 19.3% report night-driving problems and 21% report dry eyes. For a LASIK device to receive approval, FDA guidance requires that adverse events from its use fall below 1%. This ceiling for adverse events was exceeded by 20-fold in the FDA approval of lasers for LASIK. How did this happen? The laser manufacturers convinced the FDA to put these complications under a category called symptoms and not under complications. Stay away!

• Lasik Eye Procedure – What Happens During a Lasik Eye Surgery
  Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

  Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
  They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

  Less than 20 minutes, although you will need to have time to recuperate after the surgery (keep your eyes closed). I’ve laid out the step by step of the process and even included a video of the surgery itself at http://www.wika-lasik.com

• What is 20/20 Vision?
  I HAVE 20/20 but when you see how many ppl have glasses/contacts, it makes me think about 20% because even if you dont have them, you probably dont have 20/20 or even 19/20! lol

  13? Lasik at 13 years old? That’s interesting.

  Anyway…

  LASIK is a very brief procedure. If everything goes well, it should be done in 15 minutes or less.

  It’s usually done while the patient is awake. Topical (eye drops) anesthesia is used. Its not that uncomfortable to the patient.

• Do You Need Eye Surgery?
  I personally only know one child who had this defect. While I have temporarily lost contact with the family (military family, moved), he still had not needed to have surgery and he had just had his 3rd birthday.
