Help? Lasik Eye Surgery?
!
I am 17 turning 18 years old in July.
I have been contemplating getting Lasik for a while now BUT I would only get the bladeless version of the surgery.
I have astigmatism and different vision in both eyes.
I am willing to pay the price & I've had surgery before so I can handle it.
I'm just wondering are there any risks in the bladeless version of the surgery? Does lasik only last until you're 40 years old or is that a rumor? Would I receive perfect vision in both eyes?
Please try and inform me as much as possible but only about the bladeless version of the surgery.
Thank you. :)

Eyes burn after Lasik Surgery?
Q. Its been 2 days now. And my eyes are still burning and watery! When will the pain stop? Also I was told today I can stop wearing my sunglasses in the house. But man how long until the pain stops or at least because very little to unnoticeable
I have been using all 3 eye drops, Tear drops, Anti Inflammatory and anti biotic
I know a lot of people to and they had amazing experiences from it. You just got a couple of bad apples, it happens....

Please, don't splash water in your eyes. Yahoo answers is dangerous...I don't understand why there is a health section at all. A wrong answer here can have serious consequences and lots of people are throwing out answers when they don't know what they're talking about. You already paid your eye doctor for the surgery, so ask him. He will want to know if you're concerned about something.
You're most likely fine if its just mild burning/itching/watering. Discomfort after LASIK is usually minor, but not unheard of. If you're concerned, its still worth running it by your eye MD though to see if he wants you to come in for a quick look. If you were my patient, I would want you to call me so I could make sure everything is fine.
To the person who thinks his dad is far-sighted because of LASIK. This is almost definitely not the case. He probably still has good vision at distance and now has normal "presbyopia" that everyone gets when they age. LASIK does not treat presbyopia. Most eye surgeons explain to their young patients that once they reach the age of 40 they will start to need reading glasses, just like the rest of the world.
What is Presbyopia? Presbyopia has nothing to do with near-sightedness or far-sightedness. It has to do with the eye becoming less able to change where's its focusing. Just like you have to adjust the focus of a projector if you move the screen or projector, your eye also has to adjust its focus constantly to see things at different distances from you. A person with "normal vision" (emmetropia) is focusing very far away when their eyes are totally relaxed. Then if they try to look at something up close, the ciliary muscle in the eye contracts, which causes the lens inside the eye to become more rounded (if they're still young), which makes it more powerful and brings things that are closer to them into focus. When you age, your lens becomes more dense and can't change shape as easily as it used to. You can still focus on distant objects, but you have to move books farther and farther from your face until you eventually need reading glasses to help your eyes out. This is totally normal and is not because your dad had LASIK. If he's having trouble seeing things at distance AND at near, then he is probably hyperopic "far-sighted" and presbyopic.
Dry eyes are the most common side effect of LASIK. Nerves in the cornea are cut during the procedure and these nerves help you regulate lacrimation. After about 6 months, most people are back to normal, but about 1 in 5 continue to have issues with dry eye. People who already have problems with dry eyes should not have LASIK.
Also, while LASIK does have side effects, so do contacts. Its actually safer to have LASIK once than it is to wear contacts every day of your life for the rest of your life. People can get really bad corneal infections and even lose their eyes because of contact lenses, even with perfect hygiene and daily use lenses. Of course, if safety is your biggest concern, glasses are wonderful.
