I would like it, but am worried they will fuck my eyes up totally

[wankmaster]

Is it true they will only do one eye at a time in case they fuck up, then you still have one good eye to see thru?

[wankmaster]

I believe the use of eye glasses in most cases to be a total con. Look at it this way, if you saw most people walking round with crutches you'd think it a bit odd. Why is it that most people's vision seems to last til they are teens and then they get slapped into glasses? A lot of kids wear glasses, which I always think is wierd. Like in the middle ages we don't read tales of most of the populus needing a guide dog, it's a modern invention.

When I was 5 I had an eye test at school, I could not see the chart, and because I didn't want to be picked on for wearing glasses I cheated on the test. Quite soon, my eyes got better, and I've had great vision ever since. It's like having a weak leg, you don't need a crutch, you need to excersise the leg. Same with eyes, you need to excercise a weak eye, it's just a muscle the same thing.

There was a report in the papers a few years back, they got a reporter with 20/20 vision and sent her round the high street. Very few opticians wanted to let her out of the shop without selling her glasses. Get glasses, weaken the eye, next time you go, what do you need? Stronger glasses.

Maybe when you get to 60 or 70 a few people need em, and there will always be those who have congenital vision defects, but the number of people with glasses amazes me. Often when you tell glasses free people about this they nod, and smile, then admit they wear contact lenses. So there are even more of these cases than you would think.

I have had it and it works well for minus prescriptions. The trick is to get a good doctor. Beware the bargain priced variety. Check the credentials.

I had a friend who had it done right about the time it first came out - he said the after effects were much like having a papercut on your eyeball - was that your experience too?

[Rosie]

Not at all. My correction wasn't much and I felt nothing, but now have way better night vision than I ever had.

I might consider it - I'm blind as a bat without specs/lenses and my night vision is absolute shite..... but I have a phobia about eyeballs LOL

My Boyfriend had it done in Optical Express last Friday, The worst part is all the waiting around before hand.
The actual procedure takes about 2 minutes and you dont feel a thing.
He had Lasik surgery. Both eyes done at the same time.

He came out and it was uncomfortable to open his eyes. (Walking home was...interesting!) Once home he just went to bed and after an hour he was much better.
You are given drops to put in every couple of hours, which sting at first. When he woke the next morning he couldnt believe how good it was.

Went back the following day for the check up and his results were amazing, he is two levels above 20/20 vision!

My eyesight is pretty bad so I've been thinking about it for a while. Like refund says, I want someone good with good drugs to knock me out.

Moorfields eye hospital in London can do it. Dunno how good the clinics are that you see advertised, but Moorfields are where you'd end up if you had a real problem with your eyes, so might as well go straight to the top and see a consultant.

[beav]

I'd love to have it done but it costs a small fortune and my eye sight is no where near as bad as some people.

[maxdaforce]

thats interesting,been looking into Lasik surgery myself.
believe it or not,someone down my local booked it from ebay and was well chuffed with the results.

somone told me that 1 in 1000 person goes blind with it. not sure if thats true.

but to be honest if you need glasses, then in the long run it must be cheaper to have your eyes zaped than buy glasses every year. mine cost me £300.

When I went to Ultralase for a consultation they provided the statistics for when things go wrong with the flap, apparently there is a 1:5000/6000 chance of it going wrong.

Compare that to winning the lottery 1:14,000,000.

I would not worry. if its going to go wrong, it will be for me.

I find whenever anything can go wrong it tends to to be me who gets kicked in the but.

I had it done about 4 years ago. It's been a success but if I had the choice again, I probably wouldn't have it done. I've suffered minor side effects. ie. My night vision isn't what it once was and I have to wear sunglasses in anything more than moderate sunshine as I find the glare uncomfortable. I now suffer with dry eye which I never had experienced before, which can cause a drop in the quality of my vision. The list goes on, some psychological, or imagined, and some physical.

But as people have said you have to either get the right man for the job or trust in luck.

I have a wide head and my glasses look awful i hate wearing them but i cant wear contacts due to me not having to wear them all the time. I would have the laser surgery done but like rosie i have a fear of eye balls lol.

I had bleach in my eye a few years back and had to have 5 pints of water flushed through my eye with painkillers. It took two nurses to hold me down and two weeks to get over the shock of having it done, having a laser pointed into my eye would make me freek.

[TheShiftyEyedBastard]

I've been pondering it, but with my luck those fucks would blind me.....though I am pretty close to that anyway, so it wouldn't make much of a difference.

I'd make a killing selling brail porn.

[TheShiftyEyedBastard]

Maybe it would cure your shifty eye problem.

One can only hope.

I actually made contact lenses for 19 years before setting up our own business. There are lots of facts and figures, I still wear glasses after seeing some of the corrective prescriptions people required where it went wrong, going from a -2.75 to a -19.00 cannot be fun (-25 is total blindness).. Saying this things have got better and I am considering going for it.

Only use a surgery that uses lasers with unique Iris Recognition and Rapid Reaction Rapid multi-dimensional eye-tracking.. These are top of the range and the laser used is much more accurate. My choice would be Ultralase without a doubt.

They slice layers of your eye and they heal in a way to correct your vision, you should be given special goggles to wear at night in bed to stop you rubbing them *ouch imagine that* and the most common problem is dry eyes and drops required. Don't be surprised to suffer with this for 3-6 months, it can be permanent. Ultralase charges around £1,500 per eye (if you opt for the laser mentioned above), you get what you pay for and remember it's your eyes you are playing with, personally I would not even consider the £500 option even if it were given to me for free..

[smoothballs]

I've had both natural lenses replaced in my eyes! :)
