Anyone have Lasik eye surgery?!
Question: If you had it done how do you like it? If you haven't had it would you consider it?

I am 10 years post-LASIK, I am pleased with my results. I am also an optician and I see mixed results, most people are happier after it is done but some people have continuing problems.
The procedure has improved greatly since I had mine done but there are some drawbacks. There is a high correlation between LASIK patients and greatly-reduced low-contrast vision---a type of vision problem not really addressed in a standard eye exam. I do not have 20/20 vision now (I never did, quite) but my low-contrast vision is poor. This means I see ok in an eye exam under very good dark/light conditions, but that my vision is considerably reduced when a room is dark or for night driving. Also, I needed reading glasses a few years before most other people my age--but use them only at work with tiny eyeglass screws, etc.
Knowing what I know now, I would still have had the procedure done.
If my son (high RX) wished to have it done, I would encourage him to do so--but I would help him carefully research the best place to have it done. This is very important.
i know a lady who had it a few months back
and it has changed her life (her words)
i wish i had the money too and also that i was trusting enough to let someone do it
I first had Lasik surgery about 8 years ago. I then had a touch up about two years ago. I LOVE IT ! ! ! No more messing with glasses or contacts all the time. In the long run it has saved me a ton of money!! I tell eveybody that will listen to go have it done.
I had lasik surgery 9 years ago and its the best thing to happen to me.
I was so short sighted before the surgery that I couldnt even see the clock radio on my bedside table at night to see what time it was.. I would have to lean into it about 2 inches from my face.
I can't tell you how happy I was the first time I saw the time without even moving my head.
I was 32 years old when I had it done and had worn glasses from the age of 7.
If you can afford it.....DO IT!!!!
Yes, it really change my lifestyle. No more contacts and spect at all.. I love it....
I had it done 6 weeks ago and I love it. I am now seeing 20/10 and I have had absolutely no problems. I would definately recommend doing it. It was very easy and I had no pain at all.
