Do lasik laser surgery totally correct your eyesight?
Q. I underwent lasik laser surgery on Dec. 24, 2008. Now 6 months have passed. I still face glare problem, my eyes get tired early and also eye sight is not totally improved like a normal person. Should i wait more for better results. Doctors say eye sight will continue to improve day by day and all the side effect i am facing will go away with the time. How much i have to put medicines in my eyes.
Please help me.

A. I had 20/20 the next day, I have heard of people having dry eye problems, but 6 months seems like too long for all that to be an issue. I would go back, or talk to a different lasik Dr. and see what they say about it.
What are the side effects of lasik eye surgery?
Q. I've read that some people experience temporary moments of blindness for up to 6 months after the surgery.
Is it worth the risk?
Is it worth the risk?
A. it is true that the side effects are quite rare, but this does not mean that they do not exist.
I have had PRK surgery, which is similar. It is less invasive, because they do not do a flap on your retina, but they only scratch it. I had an infection after surgery, which is rare but it was a painful experience and the vision on that eye has not become perfect ( I still ave 1 degree of myopia and some astigmatism). I have been told by the doctors, that if I had the same complication after a LASIK surgery things would be much more difficult and I would need another surgery (keratoplasty). I still have problems with often keratitis episodes. On the other hand, I don;t need glasses or contacts, which is awesome.
Of course, all that is extremely rare, but anything can happen. So, whether it is worth the risk depends on how much you want to get rid of your glasses.
Additionally a degree of photophobia after surgery for a long period, which means that you will need sunglasses more than before, is not vary rare. Plus the long outcome is not well established, but I believe ophthalmology will progress enough to fix any long term problems.

How long has lasik eye surgery been around?
Q. Also, since there is a flap made what happens to your eyes in say 30 or 40 years. Will there be side effects because the eye has been cut into?
A. It has been around just over 10 years in the US and Canada, but has been around for 20 years in Russia and England.
There have been no long term side effects registered yet.
Aside from those who had to have it redone because the myopia came back....or had to go back to glasses because the surgery couldn't be done a second time for different reasons.

A. They will give you a pill to make you calm, a mild sedative. They don't want you twitching in the chair during the surgery.
Once you are calm the will probably put some drops in your eyes. Then they bring in "the Machine" once the machine is in place they will bring it in contact with your eye and you won't be able to see anything. That was the most unnerving part for me, once I had made up my mind to get the surgery.
Mine was a while ago but it took about 5 minutes to do the first eye and another 10 minutes or so to get the machine lined up on the second eye. Another 5 minutes for the second eye and it was over.
Then they will put in some more eye drops, antibiotic drops to prevent infection. They may or may not give you a vision test at this time.
They will probably have you come back the following morning to see how things are going. You will probably be very light sensitive due to minor eye irritation. I was unable to open my eyes even with dark gl;asses while outside the day after the surgery. Which wasn't good for me as I am very susceptible to motion sickness. I had to have my wife stop the car for 10 minutes just a 1/4 mile from the parking lot so I wouldn't get sick. Light sensitivity went away within 3 days and vision kept improving slowly over the next 3 weeks (although it was very good even 2 days after surgery.
My only side effect is that my vision shows small secondary images when my pupil is fully open (dim light or at night) makes it hard to read street signs at night or stargaze. Other than that it is wonderful.
