Lasik Eye Center Surgeries?
Paola S
i want to ask, (with the technology we have nowadays) does it hurt? about how long are the procedures? are they always succesfuly and if not, what is the percentage of a successful surgery?
does it restore your vision the way you had it when you were born?
are these surgeries possible on people under 18?
thank you in advance :D

I personally had lasik done in december2007 and it was the best decision I have ever made.. I never really had good vision and I had tons of astigmatism. I called the Lasik Vision Institute in Columbus, Ohio and set up a free evaluation they had me watch two different informational videos.. at first I thought oh god... but they were only about 5 min long and very informational needless to say I didnt really have many questions after the video.. They took a look at my eyes and determined I was a great candidate for Lasik. They offered several payment plans and were having a sale. I ended up paying cash it was $2300 total and that was for custom lasik( places who offer 250.00 per eye are not doing customized lasik) I ended up getting it done a few weeks later... you are not allowed to wear contacts for 2 weeks prior to surgery.. i didnt own glasses and i needed to see so i bought some. The procedure itself took maybe 15 minutes it was painless... they told me to go home and sleep for 2-3 hours... which was hard to do because I was so excited to see if it worked... my eyes were a little sensitive to light that evening but the next morning 8am when i went in for my post-op exam I had 20/20 vision.. and i still do (still get eye exams every year because i paid 300 for a lifetime warranty.. if my eyes "reverse" they will do procedure again for free. Most places dont do this for people under 18... just call for a free evaluation and see if you are a good candidate.. then they will discuss pricing with you. good luck.. this is a very good investment if they are a good candidate!!

does lasik eye surgery hurt?
Jes
my eyes are so bad and i get so frustrated always having to put contacts in to see in the shower, or put glasses on just to be able to find the bathroom in the middle of the night...
i'm such a baby, how bad does it really hurt? is it worth it? anyone have this done?
Also : i have a severe astigmatism... are they even able to perform surgery on that?
Answer
My husband has lasik done while we were engaged, it doesn't hurt and it did wonders for his eyes.
I watched the whole procedure and he couldn't feel anything and it was really neat to see it done.
He had severe astigmatism and his eyes are shaped like pointy footballs and not rounded. The doctor told him before he got the surgery that he was probably the WORST case he's scene come in for surgery in regards to astigmatism and the shape of his eyes- however, he was confident that he could work wonders.
Before he had lasik I could read about 12 lines beneath what he could on those eye charts (I have better than 20/20 vision) and after he had surgery I could only read two lines below him. Talk about a difference!! He has never looked back and I am glad to see him happy and able to 'see' things clearly for the first time since he was a little boy.
He also didn't care for contacts and couldn't wear them, I would go back through it all over again and I know he would too. He has 20/20 vision now and doesn't have to wear glasses, contacts and can see just fine like anyone who has naturally good vision. If our son gets his vision and not mine, we will be happy to get him lasik done too when he's old enough.
We highly recommend it to anyone we've ever met that is considering it, it was one of the best decisions we've made and I know he's thrilled to not wonder 'where are my glasses' or have them fog up when he leaves the house.
