LASIK eye surgery experiences?!
Question: LASIK eye surgery experiences!?
Have you had LASIK eye surgery!? How did it go!? How long ago!? Are you glad you did it!?
Well it would be great to get LASIK because it seems like I'm needing new glasses every 6 months, now, sometimes even less!. And I get terrible migraines (though the doctors point me to the optometrists, then the optometrists point me to the doctors!.!.!.!.!?!?!?!.!.!.) My older sister had eye surgery less than a year ago, it wasn't LASIK but I can't remember what it was for!. And now because of the surgery where the doctor messed up, she has a really bad lazy eye!. And she had to have it for her wedding photos! It is bad (she's only 26)!. So I don't want that to happen to me and they go "Oh, too bad!." and I lose all that money and have a ruined eye for the rest of my life!. So have you had a bad experience!?
Also, what happens with those who have worsening eye vision!? I'm needing new prescriptions more than twice a year!. If I get LASIK, would I just waste my money and have to go back again in a few months!? Or would it fix the weakening problem!?
I'm a Legal Secretary and work all day on the computer!. That detail might help a little, with my background!. And I'm only 19 1/2!. Had glasses at first just for distance, age 14!. And I think I started them full-time late in my 15s!.

Answers:
First, you have to determine if you are a suitable candidate by attending to a reputable eye centre!. NEVER undergo surgery if your power is still fluctuating as lasik does not put a stop to your progressive short sightedness!. If you are a suitable candidate with a stable power, lasik is relative safe in good hands!.

"it seems like I'm needing new glasses every 6 months, now, sometimes even less!. "
That immediately puts you out of the reckoning as a good Lasik candidate!. A stable Rx over a history of at least two years is recommended!. What point re-setting your Rx to zero if it will immediately do what it's been doing: head short-sighted!?
Apart from that, while better than 94% of people are happy to very happy after surgery (even if some have some degree of side effect) it is not a risk-free procedure!.
