Comment posted what are ALL the risk of having the Lasik Surgery? by Nah Z.

I do not know every single conceivable risk. However, I do know that some patients experience life long and horrific pain from dry eye that results from lasik.

Read that. I will highlight a portion of her story: ‘

I have extreme LASIK-induced dry eyes. I wear air-tight goggles in my house, in my car and outside. I avoid public places, and shy away from social gatherings. The moving air of shopping malls and grocery stores intensifies my constantly burning eyes. I am terribly sensitive to sunlight, even with tinted goggles. Dry eye pain and burning wake me in the middle of every single night. I can no longer read or watch TV for pleasure.’

Countless people have her story to tell, and it’s more and more people every day. It’s painful and it’s awkward and it consumes every last minute of your life, and the only person you can blame is yourself because it’s an elective surgery.

Just don’t do it. Getting rid of glasses or contacts is not worth that risk that you’ll end up in pain for the rest of your life.

  • Some people have complained of dry eye, pain, blurry vision or have not been able to drive at night because of problems with glare.

    There’s a risk, it’s very small and so I would shop around for a good doctor. More than 6 million people have had it done, but their are a small number that say their vision was affected.

    The FDA is currently reviewing lasik because it has received some 140 complaints from people who say they have eye pain and other problems that never went away.

  • Normally, LASIK is safe, but you may experience mild blurry vision within the first week. After that, you should see more clearly, but some complication do occur. Its best to consult an opthamalogist or just wiki it for full details. Sorry I couldnt give more.

  • 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.
