Question: I know nothing about lasik, is it safe!?
how safe is lasik!? could a doc who does 30 lasik procedures a day be considered a safe doc to go to!? i am very concerned about a family member who wants to do this!. i dont know what to tell her, but, i am not convinced it is a good idea!.;Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lots of information at the FDA Lasik site, below!.
Also an informative typical consent form!.
The odds are good, very good, for suitable candidates but there are risks and possible side effects!.
Something over 96% of people would recommend Lasik to a friend, *even if* they had encountered some degree of side effect!.
The most common disappointment is the Rx not as being as near zero as wished for!. Sometimes a second procedure can improve this!.
Otherwise, dry eyes, temporarily or permanently, and night-time flare and glare, temporarily or permanently are the most commonly reported side effects!.
More drastic problems are very rare indeed, but they can happen!.
Permanently poor vision even *with* glasses or contacts, post-Lasik, is something I've seen personally, more than once!.
That is a risk that has to be taken on board!. It can happen with the best of practitioners and doesn't simply mean incompetence that can be sued!.
Good odds, large stake!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had Lasik eye surgery done after wearing glasses for 16 years!. It has been perfect for me!. I have had no changes!. Of course, as I age, I expect changes!. I also co-manage refractive surgery and have seen hundreds of successful patients!. It doesn't hurt, generally!. There is a bit of pressure, but no real pain if you have LASIK!. The PRK version (where no flap is cut) is a little more uncomfortable for the first few days following the procedure!. I've seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine!. I used to wear both glasses and contact lenses!. I had LASIK done and it's the best decision I've ever made!. I can see clearly, no squinting, no driving with glasses anymore!. I can read road signs, see the individual leaves in the trees (they're not just a blurry mess anymore)!. It's also nice to be able to see what time it is when I wake up!. The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes!. Highly recommended!.

I have several friends who have had lasik's and are very happy with the results, steer clear of the hi volume places find a good eye clinic!. don't do the mono vision to help with close up as the eyes keep getting worse and this will need to be redone and the cost is the same each time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Generally speaking it is safe but it's not for everyone!. Some people are simply not good candidates for it such as myself!. I have dry eyes and this procedure will make it worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
