Why did LeBron James go all the way to California to have eye surgery ?

Q. I read in the the Cleveland Plain Dealer online recently, that Le Bron had Lasik eye surgery in California. Does anyone know why he didn't go to the Cleveland Clinic to have it done? I have been to the CC many times for a foot problem, & they have the greatest doctors there in all fields of medicine, in my opinion.

A. You are right. Being from Cleveland I can agree that some of the best doctors in the world are a the Cleveland Clinic. But this is mostly a cosmetic surgery. That being said, most of those doctors are out in CA. And like one person stated, he may have a friend who knew a good doctor for that out there. I'm sure it was done by an optomologist but some of them are specailizing in only cosmetic surgeries like this.

Why does laser/ lasik eye surgery restrict the things you can do in the military?

Q. I was thinking about joining the army or even the marines. Lately I've read a few things to make sure laser eye surgery is safe. I'm 15 right now but I really would like to join the military when I'm older. So far night vision problems can occur for a few months but that's apparently rare. Other then reasons like that why does the surgery restrict what you can do in the military?

A. Have you ever driven at night in the rain, and seen how oncoming head lights are flared ?

Well one of the side effects of lasik eye surgery

is for some people, lights at night, can flare like that, limiting your vision.

What is the minimum cost for laser eye surgery in australia?

Q. I was just curious, my eyes are really bad, i cant read a font at the size of 12 on the computer screen when i am 70 cm away from it. And would a person like me whos eye sight is that bad be suitable for eye surgery? By the way, iam 13 years old. :S

A. You cannot legally have laser eye treatment until you are 18. Realistically you should not consider treatment until you are at least 20 odd. If you think your vision is bad now, it is almost certain to get worse through your teens until stabilising around your late teens / early twenties.

I'd advise you to wear your glasses correctly, good proper use now will make for a better, stable and hence more predictably treatable prescription earlier.

Kind regards

Original Question

Does having laser eye surgery give any long term or short term side effects?

Q. I want to have laser eye surgery, but i found out from a friend that you could have a layer of your eye tear away and you'll be left with nothing but excruciatingly blurry vision. Is this true? I was planning on joining the Marine Corps without glasses or contacts. If there are any other side effects please don't forget to mention them, thank you!

A. First go to your regular eye specialist for advice. I had my first left eye laser 12 years ago, I felt good without even the right eye off contact lens. 6 years ago, had my right eye done with the laser surgery, as I have the experience already with my left eye with regular checks by my eye doctor. I am very happy with the laser surgery, now that I can go without glasses, and my eyesight has been corrected without difficulty in reading small article prints. Before you go for the laser eye surgery, please put off your contact lens for a couple of months to stabilise your eye. My experience that I went off contact lens only 1 day before my right surgery, my nerves were not stabilised yet, there was a little bleeding.
Anyway, the surgery was good. I am happy that I have done the laser eye surgery, as I am free without glasses with no difficulty in reading and driving at night In my family, my elder sister, 2 nieces have also done with laser eye surgery. Nowadays, cataracts and a minute-dot hole, are all done by laser surgery, I had one such surgery with a tiny hole on my right eye. After surgery, always have regular check-up. Anyway, get advice and check whether you are eligible for the surgery as some are not.
