    Getting Lasik Tomorrow

    ...any tips? I've got my prescription eyedrops, a couple weeks worth of artificial tears, a ride home, etc... They say I will have to keep my eyes shut for 6 hours after the procedure.

      make sure the room is 100% dark when they map out the surgery...or else you MAY experience nightime "HALOS" around lights.

              That is what causes it? One place I did a consultation at does a second laser procedure after the lasik to enhance your night vision...

              I've had halos in my night vision all my life so I'm not sure how much worse it could get.

                    does the vision degrade again over time? or does it stay?

                      They don't want to do it to me, they said one eye is too weak .....

                          mine has lasted over 10 years now I think I am going to go and get an enhancement!

                          at this rate its way cheaper then glasses would have been over that time

                            I have -2.0 in one eye :/ I hate glasses too. Contact lenses aren't that bad though this lasik stuff sounds pretty good. Please update us when you get back after and good luck.

                              I'm -1.75 and -2.0 and also considering Lasik for a few years now, but afraid of getting blind or something like that in my late 20s (or at any age for that matter, it just sucks).. How do they know (since everything Lasik related is relatively new) that patients wont go blind in lets say their 60's ? 30 years from now..

                                I had mine done in Honolulu 4 years ago and still have better than perfect vision. Totally painless, and I was out having a steak at Cheesecake Factory the same night.

                                      Congrats on getting the surgery done. I did it about 2 years ago. One of the best things i ever did. If i would have known how much of a difference it makes i would have done it years earlier.

                                        It's about time

                                        After the initial "Fade to Black" which is kinda trippy, basically just follow the procedures relating to the drops and sleep with the eye shields taped on and you should be fine

                                          I was -3.7 and -5. Had it done about 7 years ago. They did a technique called Customvue. No nigt vision problems at all. He left one eye just a bit underadjusted so that In shouldn't need reading glasses anytime soon.

                                          One off the best things I've ever done!

                                              i just checked for local surgeons and found out that it's about $950 per eye - i thought it's much more expensive. now i am seriously considering it - but i'll wait till you're done first ;)


                                              ps: i am like -3,5 on both eyes - without glasses i don't even find home

                                                  You only have two eyes. I'm so sure I would mess with them.

                                                    i just checked again and it's about 30% less than I would pay in germany. and i dont think its that bad - considering that quality glasses are like $400-$500 and you need special sunglasses too. i'll look into this

                                                          ps: i am like -3,5 on both eyes - without glasses i don't even find home
                                                          That's pretty good. I paid $5k for mine.

                                                            If anyone lives in or around Montreal and would like to get it done, let me know. My sister is a surgical tech there and I can get you 10% if you're interested.

                                                            Both my sister and mother have had it done and they say it's one of the best decisions they've ever made!

                                                              I've had halos in my night vision all my life so I'm not sure how much worse it could get.
                                                              your eyes must be 100% dilated when they map out the surgery.. if they are slightly non-dilated, then that causes the halo.

                                                                          I recently discovered that they now have a lasik procedure for farsightedness which I will be looking into very soon.

                                                                              My vision's about the same only positive instead of negative. Wear glasses to read and such but get around pretty good most of the time w/o them. Street signs are a bit difficult but I can still make out key letters that help me guestimate the names and get me where I need to be.

                                                                              Prob biggest neg effect of not wearing my glasses is I can't make out people's faces too well at a distance, so sometimes I say hi to people I don't know and susequently sometimes I don't spot people I should greet and hurt feelings. Not ready for lasik yet though, probably should just wear my glasses more and not be such a bastard.
