***I Love
I want to get lasik surgery but I remember about 9 years ago when I was about 18 and I wanted to get the procedure done, someone I worked with told me that it was dangerous. She told me before lasik there was a different type of eye surgery. It produced the same result as the lasik but 20 years later there vision was worse than before and they were practically blind. That scared me. Is this true? Is lasik surgery safe?
Answer
LASIK eye surgery is a medical procedure that can correct your vision by altering the physical properties of your eye. Unlike traditional surgical procedures that depend upon the skills and steadiness of the surgeon's hand, advanced LASIK eye surgery is computer controlled.
The more progressive LASIK surgery centers perform in-depth analysis of your eyes as an evaluation procedure to determine if you're a good candidate for the LASIK procedure. The evaluation process, which is largely controlled by computer itself, maps the overall physical makeup of each eye. A traditional eye exam determines your visual abilities and then an exhaustive computer analysis determines if your eyes can be enhanced by the LASIK procedure.
In addition to determining whether or not you're a good candidate for LASIK, the procedure also records quite a bit of data that's specific to your eyes. If you choose to proceed with the LASIK surgery, this data is used to program the computer controlled LASIK equipment to insure that your eyes are modified exactly in the proper manner so as to provide maximum benefit.
LASIK eye surgery does carry some risks, such as loss of vision. In some extremely rare cases, the patient may lose vision due to equipment malfunction, scarring or healing related complications.
One common risk of LASIK eye surgery is that any dry eye condition that is experienced right after surgery may hamper the healing process. Signs of dryness are burning, redness and decreased vision. If this dry eye condition persists, you may have to medicate to improve tear duct function and use artificial tears to maintain the proper level of moisture. You must keep your eyes moist after LASIK surgery in order to promote healing.
LASIK eye surgery is relatively safe and it can free you from glasses and contacts. Before you commit to LASIK surgery, make sure that you consider all the advantages and disadvantages of having the procedure. Ask the doctor lots of questions so that you can make an informed decision about whether LASIK eye surgery is the right choice for you.

How long is the Lasik surgery good for after it's done?

Lasik eye surgery.
Answer
It should be for life. You do have to look at your eyesight for the past 5-6 years. If it has concistantly gotten worse, and you have been good at wearing glasses (not contact lenses), then you can get the surgery done, but you will probably have to wear glasses again when your eyesight gets worse again. Contact lenses are unreliable predictor of this because your eyes will now have access to air, unlike they were w/ contacts, which will slow the degenerate process.
If you have been fairly consistant for 5 years, then you probalby will not have to ever get the surgery again. I got mine done from Dr. Rahamni in Brownstown MI (he did one of the Detroit Pistons also). He has a lifetime care package with all his surgerys. If you ever need surgery again, it is covered no matter what, no cost to you.
I had mine done almost 7 years ago now, when I was 21. I still have perfict vision. My father got it done the same day with me and he still has perfict vision. I was a -4.5 while my father was a -8.5!
