I had LASIK surgery done on both eyes almost 5 years ago.
I was extremely near sited and now I see perfect, it was the
best descion I ever made. I also know at least a dozen other people who had it done and we all used the same doctor and
everyone that did it loves it. No problems, never any pain, the whole thing is quick and easy. I paid $3,600 and like I said that was almost 5 years ago, the has come down alot.

Columbia eh... :helpme

I don't even notice a difference at night.

i jumped and did it last year at Coal Harbor eye centre (in vancouver) i was terrified but completely satisfied with the results. no complications, excellent results for both eyes.

My mum had it done last year, she says it was the best thing she ever did, I'll have it done in a couple of years as my eyesight is getting worse.

Me and my husband both got it done back in April, I believe. We both love it. Since then we have also had another friend get it done, he loves is too. It is amazing. I now see 15/20 and Brett sees 20/20. I wish I would have gotten it done years ago. Sometimes my eyes do feel a bit dry but nothing a few drops can't take care of. And the bit of dryness is nothing compared to them damn contacts I would have to take care of.
It just makes life that much more simple.
Good luck to you.

During the 5-15 minutes it takes to do the surgery, figuring that it's about 6 minutes per eye, out of that time, how many minutes is devoted to the laser actually hitting one the eyes? Just curious how long you really need to keep still for each eye when the laser starts shootin'.

My sister had it done and it didn't help her at all. It actually made her eyes bloodshot all the time. She's a realtor and found and sold expensive houses, but she couldn't sell anything after her surgery becuase she looked stoned all the time! She had a thousand pairs of sunglasses. One for every single friggin' outfit, Ikid you not! Iguess It won't work with some peoples eye's so she had to have it recorrected twice! Screw that!!!!

Mike Ep,
Durring the surgery you have to look at a light that is imposible to look at for about 5-6 minutes, each eye. The surgery itself sucks. It doesn't hurt at all but it is very annoying. The most annoying part is they are always swabbing your eye, drying it out with a little sponge. And you can see them lift your eye flap. It doesn't hurt though. I taped my husbands surgery. I am not sure that we still have it but if we do I would be more then happy to make a video of it. Then everyone could see exactly what goes on. The 5-6 minutes of annoyance is definetly worth the years of annoyance brought on my contacts, or glasses. I have only had my surgery for about 4 months, but I am so happy that I did. The only regret I have is that I didn't do it earlier.

lol.... why does this thread never die? This shit is nearly a year and a half old....

HI AYH,
sorry I didn't even look at the date the thread was created.

So- did you ever get the surgery?

nah.... doc said my eyes were borderline and there's a good chance it wouldn't help me at all, so I gave up the whole idea.

Sorry to hear that.
I was so scared my doc would tell me that too. Luckily I was a good candidate.



See this is why your thread never dies. :-)

noooooooooooooo wait for a few years
