I leave to army basic training in about 2 weeks. Should i get lasik surgery after i get settled in and stationed?
Answer
Yes you should but you have to remember, its a long list of people waiting. My buddy signed up to get lasik and took three years to finally get it. But if I were you, I would sign up for lasik during your second enlistment unless youre in your late 20s. If you do the procedure while your eyes are in development, than it be a waste. Wait until you're around 27-29 then get lasik cause they will only do it once. But sign up when you're 24-25. There was a kid that for lasik at 20 and he's wearing glasses now cause his eyes wasn't fully developed. Do more research and talk to an eye doctor before doing it.

I have been wearing glasses even since I was a very young kid. I am highly nearsighted in my right eye and somewhat nearsighted in my left eye. I also have a high degree of astigmatism in my right eye. I never wore contact lenses. I want to lasik surgery because I don't have to wear glasses again and have 20/20 vision but I am scared of the side effects. I am 22. Any advise on what to do. What do they do in lasik surgery? What is the procedure?
Answer
I also started wearing glasses at a young age and had a high degree of astigmatism (in both eyes). I had Lasik 3 and a half years ago, and was ridiculously scared. I was afraid they'd mess up and I'd be blind. They didn't, and now my vision is 20/15. I do have severely dry eyes now though. My optometrist even inserted tiny rubber cones into my tear ducts (and yes, it's just as fun as it sounds!) and it didn't help. Even with the severe dry eyes, I would say the surgery was worth it to have awesome vision.
The procedure itself only took a few minutes- they put in numbing eye drops, then have you lay down and you feel some pressure as they actually do the surgery. It doesn't hurt, it just feels uncomfortable for a few minutes.
