Anything that can caause you to not be able to have laser eye surgery?
Q. I've been thinking about laser eye surgery for a while now and am really curious whether there are conditions or just anything that could cause you to not be able to get it? My eye doctor appointment isn't for a while so I can't ask her just now.. My eyes have a prescription of +6.50 (left eye) and +5.00 (right eye) and my left eye is sort of like a lazy eye when it's unfocussed (only sometimes though)
A. +6.50 & +5.00 are not good candidates for lasik. lasik works *really* well on NEARSIGHTED patients. it does not work so well on farsighted patients.
i personally dont send farsighted patients for lasik *at all* anymore. burned too many times. my surgeon says he'll do them (he doesnt like it but he will) UP TO +4.00 and thats it. no +6.50's or +5.00's.
sorry. you may find someone who will do it, but if you were coming to my office, you would be told you're not a candidate

Do you think it would be a bad idea for me to get Lasik?
Q. I'm 19 yrs old but my dad said that even when they gave him Lasik eye surgery then the doctors said his eyes are STILL changing even though he's 50 yrs old. Also, I have a humongous fear of blood and the thought of doing surgery on my eye in particular doesn't help. I tend to faint when I see a lot of blood.
A. There is no blood involved in Lasik surgery. I had it. I even had to go back a second time for some fine tuning. I am very squeemish about anything being done to my eyes. It was unpleasant but I made it through. I think your Dad wants you to wait till you are older and can pay for it yourself.
How much does Lasik eye surgery cost, what kinds of different surgeries are there, and anything else to know..?
Q. I really dont know a whole lot about the surgery, however it seems like a dream come true!
I do have an astigmatism in both eyes and my rx is -3.75 and -3.50 and actually got a little better this last check up.
I just want some information, some experience stories, or just anything you'd like to add
thanks

A. in 28 and i had it done 5 yrs ago it has to be one of the best things ive done and i reccomend it to anyone it costs about 400 each eye its a simple procedure lasts about 20 mins and although blurry i could see straight after i went with optical express the service and aftercare i got was fab i reccomend u go and see them and they will go through it all with you
Who has any personal experience with this kind of surgery?
Q. ok so, being in the military, u r offered lots of benefits...one being, eye surgery (u know, like the LASIK). ive really been thinkin about doing it. and i do know that the surgery the military offers has a higher success rate than the actual LASIK, but of course there r still risks, possibilities....etc. does anyone have personal experience about how getting that surgery helped (or not helped) to better their lives?
A. This is my post to the laser eye forum� (Also, at http://www.lasereyeforum.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=4599)

My Experiences - Optical Express (Nottingham)
4 weeks ago I spoke to a couple of friends who had had laser surgery . They say it was the best thing they had ever done. This spurred me on, together with looking at the statistics, and 3 wks ago I went for my free consultation.
I decided I wanted to go for the full thing, Wavefront and Intralase, thus avoiding sharp instruments, and using only lasers.
My prescription was mild R+1, L+0.75, so the cost was just over £2k
I am 41, and thought to myself, "Just trust the statistics, and be brave for 5 minutes, and you will enjoy the remainder of your life more."
So, Last Friday 7/3/08 was D-day. Got to Nottingham at 3pm and after a little wait - I was called in to do triple checks regarding facts and figures, and was taken in to the operating theatre.
Lay on the bed, nervous I had to admit, but took myself off to another place, and less than 5 minutes later both eyes were done. 10 minutes after that I was in a taxi home with sunglasses on, and thinking, "Wow, I did it".
I had always wanted it done, but never been in a financial position to do so. I was also concerned about the chances of things going wrong, but my friends successes filled me with great confidence.
No grittiness, tad sore a couple of hours later, but a couple of Ibuprofen and a half-decent night's sleep, and woke up more-or-less perfect.
Have a little night-glare at the mo, and a bit of bruising on the eyeballs, but both will get better in a couple of weeks.
The cost sounds expensive, but it pays for itself over the years, in not buying glasses every couple of years.
If your frightened don't be - surgeons (in this case Mr Bal Manoj - Google him) sit at the side of God.
As a sportsman (146 at snooker, 4 over at golf) I'm just glad to have my peripheral vision back, and can't wait to get back on the golf course.
*********************************************
So I would heartily recommend it as I have perfect eyesight now.
Furthermore, they operate a "Recommend A Friend" deal at Optical Express, whereby the new customer gets £50 off the price if they quote a previous customer's details, and I would also get £50 for recommending you. Email me and I can let you have my details.
Hope all this helps.
