I can't stand this shit anymore. Time to get Lasik

You'll still need glasses or contacts. Your eyes have to be "stable" for a year before they'll operate.

And yes, your eyes can still get worse after the surgery. It's simply a surgery to correct your current vision, not prevent your vision from becoming worse in the future.

Too much time infront a computer... I recommend you to work in your laptop, at least it hasn't microwaves....

ahh shit. So I have to wait a year and get contacts first? I was hoping to just get the Laski and get it over with.

4 eyes!

Or get a monitor/videocard combo with a high refresh rate. 100 Hz or higher on your monitor will be a lot better on your eyes, and worth the investment.

look with a qualified doc .. because its not every thing, they can fix with lazik ..

yeah, I intend on getting a very good LCD monitor after the surgery
Right now I have this hitachi 19 inch with 85 HZ refresh, But this is the son of a bitch that has fucked up my eyes. I just know it. I had perfect 20/20 a year ago

biatch, you know what they say...the 4 eyed man is king in the land of the 2 eyed men.

I know a couple people that had the procedure. Only one had a problem with it. One eye got that starlight effect at night. He went to a 2nd doctor who did a minor adjustment and to try and correct that and it was pretty good after that.

Gonna get Lasik surgery. Anyone had it? Would you recommened it?

Can your eyesight go bad again once you get lasik?

Huh..you are 'having a hard time reading the text on the computer' and you don't wear glasses or contacts? Am I reading that right?

**Pipecrew** · 03-04-2003, 06:33 PM

my refresh rate is 60hz? i have a bunch of options.... is this good or bad?

**boneprone** · 03-04-2003, 06:33 PM

Tanker got it

**Mojo** · 03-04-2003, 06:39 PM

I got it a year ago. I couldn't be more pleased.

I was 20/60 in both eyes and I'm 20/20 now. No haze, starlights, nothing.

Investigate a lot of docs, get reccomendations, and don't use "Crazy Lou's $399.00 Lasik"

**BluMedia** · 03-04-2003, 06:41 PM

I got the lasik about 4 years ago and just had vision problems for the first day, really watery blury, starlight vision and then everything was perfect in a few days. You aren't guaranteed to have 20/20 but find a very reputable surgeon to go to and don't just pick the cheapest. Lasik for me was $4,900 but that was quite some time ago. You can also write off the expense on your taxes as a medical expense.

My vision deteriated so fast in a span of a year, I just figured I'll just get lasik instead of getting glasses or contacts.

60 hz is bad bro! Mess around with the option and see if you can increase it
that kiind of refresh rate will prolly fuck up your eyes or at least make you tired faster

You think that working inside a small microwave, where anyone with a frozen pastry could KILL YOU... is safer than Lasik?

I doubt that my friend...

**Massivecock** · 03-04-2003, 07:32 PM

I had it done 9 months ago.

On a scale of mild to high prescription - I had about a medium.

surgery took about 5 mins.

I Immediately could see 20/20

took about 1 week for eyes to feel normal.

2 months to completely settle in.

Perfect vision.

No problems.

$900 per eye.

Im in Canada... I not too sure about the American Surgeons though.

**cool1g** · 03-04-2003, 07:41 PM

there is a new and improved version of Lasik just coming online - be sure to ask about it. you get better results with fewer problems. its called Custom Cornea or Wavefront or LADAR...depending on whose talking...

I can't stand this shit anymore. Time to get Lasik
