What he said. No need to be worried.
The worst part is the "screw" they use to keep your eyes open.
No need to worry about the treatment itself though.

I want to get it soo bad, but I am scared.

Are they using the IntraLase laser to cut the flap? It's supposed to reduce complications 70% and give you better results.

I had it done last year. No pain at all, just a bit uncomfortable is all......

i believe they use a microkeratome.. never heard of intralaser

That's the old way. The new IntraLase laser is a huge leap forward. Especially combined with the new Wavefront Lasik procedure.

That pretty much sums it up

Exactly......

I have had it done its so simple you dont feel a thing.

as soon as you get up from the table you can see better but not clear in 2 days I was seeing perfect 20/15 vision it was amazing its been 5 years now and I love it

No pain.. couple diffrent types you sure they are cutting?.. Either way worked out great for my g/f.

ah yes thats the laser thingie that lasts 5 yrs

hope everything goes well :)

does this correct both near and far vision?

and can it be repeated as you age?

I had PRK done which has worse recovery and it wasn't that bad. The people I know who have done lasik said they didn't feel a thing and recovery was like a day or two with no pain. I absolutely love it being that I wore glasses or contacts for the past 20 years. My vision is now 20/15. The creepiest (sp) part about the procedure is smelling your eyeballs being fried. :thumbsup

We the stuff they have right. What you'll be feeling then will be minimal pain as possible. :winkwink:
Looking forward for a better eyesight.

I have a couple friends that said it's one of the best things they ever done..good luck with it

sounds scary...but the results are pretty amazing... if ever you decide to get it done..I hope everything turns out cool... Goodluck!

Good luck on your surgery.
