david

what kind of laser eye surgery did you have
how are your eyes now

any other information that could help me, im 18 years old and my eyesight is 8.50

Answer
I had CustomVue lasik last week Thursday and the only thing bad about my experience was a popped blood vessel which is quite common, but goes away in a week or two. My vision was 20/20 the day after and probably even sharper now. I don't have dry eye, glare, or sensitivity to light. I have a very very mild halo which should go away also, but its better than it was when I wore contacts. Dry eye does happen to a lot of people but I wouldn't say that a high percentage of people have severe dry eye like the above person makes it seem like. They test your tear production before hand, and mine was on the lower end of having dry eyes....but I'm not experiencing any dry eye. If you have a low amount of tears, then they will put plugs into your peepers to help with that problem which takes like 30 seconds to put in. Conventional lasik has a higher chance of having glare and halos, but is about half the price of Customvue which is made to correct those problems. Conventional lasik is approved for people who are 18 and CustomVue is approved for people 21 and older. Your prescription must be stable for at least a year before any lasik. All lasik has a small percentages of complications. The thing docs worry about most is infection so you need to stay in a clean, non dusty environment for at least a week.

Answer
Some doctors will perform surgery on you if you're at least 18 and have had a steady prescription for at least a year, and are a good candidate after going through the initial exam. Some insurances will cover the surgery, you would need to shop around for a good one.
I researched LASIK last night for more info
since I have a -7.50 and was simply curious about it, and came up with this web site...
