I'm getting Laski eye surgery...Anything I should know?
 

Im getting Laski eye surgery, anything I should know? Ive been doing some research, and seems there are a lot of different equipment for doing Lasik, such as VISX Star S4, LADARVision, and the ALLEGRETTO WAVE which is brand new.

Anything you guys have heard about any of those? Any experiences? do's or don't? Thanx :)

Ive heard the polish version "Laski" doesnt work as well as the US method, "Lasik".

You'll need lots, and lots, and lots of eyedrops.

I think laski was the one who invented it , but didnt have the foresight to finish the job. He is still keeping an eye out for customers to work on. But I would try Lasik as well, save you crying your eyes out after the fact :Graucho

im getting it eventually, and the only person ill go to is the inventor and the person who has invented the most advancements in technique dr joeseph dela russo in new jersey... it costs more but im not gonna trust my eyes with just anyone

I'm getting it done as well, just been double and triple checking with people who've had it done and seeing who they recomend (I'm not in the mood for price shopping on something like this)

I have had it done and I will say its amazing


I went from 20/400 vision ( I couldnt read a watch without glasses)

to 20/15


If they offer collogene plugs for your tear ducts get then they disove after a week or so but they prevent your eyes from drying up as bad

and yes for 2 weeks or so you will go through a lot of prescrition Eye drops

I had it done 2 years ago and its awesome I still amaze people today when I can read signs way off in the distance

I agree with Sykkboy. Don't go price-shopping on something like this. Those $299 places just fuck you anyway as a friend of mine recently found out:

"Its funny because I got the flyer and it said $299 per eye, I was like COOL!. When I got there, it was $599 an eye because I am -3.25 Then at my pre-op today, they suggested that I get some collegan plugs so I wouldn't dry up. $150 per eye, then I got the 3 year warranty. $200 more per eye. $1900 dollars."

So just make sure you're going to someone reputable with references you have bothered to check for yourself. If they fuck this up you could be blind so it's no joke.

I have a friend who was the same way

hell, people ask me why I don't drive, it's because I can see fucking signs (and my whole short attention span while driving thing). Glasses don't help because I have this little ridge on the bridge of my nose where I scoped myself with a gun when I was younger, so they don't fit right and I'm constantly adjusting them. I can't do contact lenses because of allergies, my eyes get all drippy...

Good Luck !

I had mine 2 years ago., the best thing i ever did in my life...

you'll LOVE it...

I had it ..it was best thing I ever did!

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup Don't bargain for your eyes. here it is almost 2000 per eye and it worth it....

Start to worry when you hear the word oops.

Good luck with your surgery

Lasik does not fix dislexia...

Now you tell me B,

$4000 spent and only thing different is clearly see I.

I am looking at getting my eyes done as well. Can anyone recommend a great eye surgeon in the Toronto area to get this done by.

Money is not an object when I am dealing with my health.

I am getting it done next month.

Thats awesome Tanker, I really want to get it done soon. I am sick of contacts.

How much was the procedure?

good advice guys. Yeah, I won't be looking for a bargain, will be looking for the best surgeon

How long after your surgery were you guys able to work on the computer? I work 10 hours per day on the computer, so how much of a downtime will I have after the surgery? I don't want to risk fucking up my new vision by overworking right after te surgery

I've had it done.

My advice: Don't blink.
Oh and the smell is like burning hair...

The actual procedure takes like 20 mins and your downtime will probably be 2-3 days, safely anyways.

does the procedure hurt like a motha?

Don't do anything which puts pressure on your eyes or behind your eyes....like bending, stooping....

I'd like to know as well. Also, why does it take 20 minutes? So you have a lazer burning into your eyes for 20 minutes?

Okay. Anything else?

It doesn't hurt. They'll put drops in your eyes so you don't really feel anything. It may be uncomfortable at times, but not painful.

The whole thing should take less than 20 minutes. The actual laser only lasted about 5 seconds per eye for me.

Good luck!

Yeah i should look into this. Always wanted to get it done!~
