Would Lasik Eye Surgery Fix My Night Blindness?

Beautiful

i am a candidate for the surgery, my current eye sight is 20/400, this is pretty accurate how i see without glasses/contacts - http://ahgooreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/20400.jpg but anyways, i'd really like to drive at night or even walk down a semi-dark hallway without bumping into something.

i have heard it was caused by a deficiency of vitamin A but i eat plenty of dairy, squash and carrots. i also take vitamins every morning.

Answer
LASIK shaves a little off your cornea to help sharpen vision... but it's not likely to improve night blindness.

You need to see an Ophthalmologist (NOT an Optometrist) to diagnose your problem and recommend treatment. It could be something going on with your retina, pupils, etc... who knows... but get that fixed first before considering LASIK.

Also, if you do the LASIK surgery, DO NOT go to a LASIK mill (like LASIK PLUS, TLC, EYE INSTITUTE). These places just want your money... do your research, talk to friends, and go to a really, really good doctor with thousands of procedures and extremely low complication rates.

LASIK is ONLY safe when done by a good doctor. Done by the wrong doctor or on the wrong person are the most likely cases for vision loss or serious complications.

How old do you have to be to get laser eye surgery? How much does it cost?

Annaaa

I'm 17, can I get it with parents approval? I have quite a bit of wrinkles under my eye for my age, and I'm so self conscious about it, and I'm tired of spending my money on expensive creams. I don't turn 18 for another 10 months and I would like to get it done sooner if possible.
My mom said theres a cheap place that does a good job where we live, how much do you think it will be around?

Answer
How much does LASIK cost?

LASIK eye surgery cost differs widely from one provider to another and depends on many factors. The only universal standard is that LASIK and other refractive surgery prices are quoted per eye (as we do in this article).

Remember that one LASIK procedure equals only one eye, even if both eyes are corrected on the same day. So the price quoted for a procedure doubles if you intend to have both eyes corrected.

LASIK surgeons also might add extra charges for new technologies, including wavefront analysis for extra-precise corrections (custom wavefront LASIK).

You also might be charged extra for all-laser LASIK, also called bladeless LASIK (IntraLase and other technologies), in which a laser is used instead of a bladed instrument to create the flap on the front of the eye. In LASIK, this thin flap is lifted so that laser energy can be applied to shape the eye, and then replaced to serve as a natural bandage.
Average LASIK Eye Surgery Costs

A price report commissioned by AllAboutVision.com from a leading industry analyst was based on results of a survey of refractive surgeons conducted in 2011. Average LASIK costs were:

$2,124 for all laser-based vision correction procedures (including LASIK) in which a single price is quoted.
$1,630 for non-customized LASIK using a bladed instrument (microkeratome) and excimer lasers that are not guided by wavefront analysis.
$2,151 for wavefront-guided LASIK using a laser-created flap.

Note that wide variation can exist in what an advertised price will include. Beware of advertising that, for example, promises "LASIK from $499 per eye." Look for the fine print. Typically, only a few select people are actually eligible for LASIK at prices that sound unusually low, because most eyes require more extensive correction or more follow-up after the surgery.

Average LASIK prices have not risen substantially in several years. That trend continued in 2011, no doubt because of the generally poor state of the U.S. economy. For now, many potential laser eye surgery candidates seem to be choosing more economical vision correction choices, such as eyeglasses and contact lenses, until the economy heats up again.

The average price for LASIK with a blade-created flap did rise between 2010 and 2011, from $1,580 to $1,630. But the average price for wavefront-guided LASIK using a laser-created flap on the eye dipped, from $2,170 to $2,151.

Many more eye surgeons (55.3 percent) now quote a single price for LASIK or similar vision correction procedures than in 2009 (47.2 percent). And that percentage grows each year.

Charging a single price means new technologies such as customized wavefront procedures and laser-created flaps are not priced separately and charged as "extras," in addition to a basic fee for a laser vision correction procedure.

In previous years, you might have been able to find a few eye surgeons willing to charge less than $1,000 per eye for LASIK and other procedures. The newest figures indicate that most eye surgeons have backed off entirely from charging prices that low. Still, the percentage of surveyed surgeons who offered bladed LASIK at less than $1,000 did grow recently, from 13.8% in 2010 to 19.5% in 2011.

Non-customized procedures are performed with the less expensive options of bladed microkeratomes and excimer lasers that are not guided by wavefront analysis. Most customized wavefront procedures that also use laser-created flaps cost from $1,500 to $2,500 per eye (see chart).
Beware of "Bargain" Prices for LASIK

When you deal with centers and surgeons that advertise LASIK surgery at bargain prices far below what is mentioned above, you would be wise to ask plenty of questions about what a procedure actually costs beyond what is advertised.

Ask for an estimate, in writing, that details exactly what you are getting for that low price.

Make sure you know what the total cost of the procedure will or could be, including surgeon and facility fees and any other extras. One advertised price represented as a "bargain" might include those types of extra costs, while another might not.

What are the pros and cons of getting laser-eye surgery?

Michael

I'm currently in high school, and I've been recently prescribed glasses after figuring out that I was nearsighted. Although my eyesight isn't completely horrible (I only need my glasses when I need to read something across the room), I don't want to be completely dependent on my specs every time I copy something down from the board in school or read a distant sign. I also sometimes forget them when I go to school, which disables me from copying down the notes that I need to study for next class's exam. Thus, causing me to bother other people to copy their notes. I even sometimes miss out on the spectacular events or spectacles that my family and friends come across, which I am unable to enjoy with full definition all because I don't have my glasses with me. As a result, I have considered getting laser eye-surgery when I become an adult. However, I've heard many draw backs in getting laser-eye surgery. My mother told me that laser-eye surgery won't be the same 20-20 vision that I had when I was younger. Furthermore, I heard that you can't be a pilot if you've had laser eye surgery and that there's a high risk of going blind during the operation. I also would like to know if there's any longterm adverse effects after getting laser-eye surgery. So if you happen to know anything bad or good about laser-eye surgery, please feel free to tell me about them, especially if you've had laser-eye surgery yourself.
I also feel nerdy wearing them

Answer
It seems that your problem isn't your eyesight; it's your lack of responsibility. It's not that difficult to carry around your glasses in a case, you know.
Here's a recent article discussing the drawbacks to LASIK surgery: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/02/10/is-lasik-eye-surgery-safe-fda-scientist-regrets-saying-yes/

LASEK/PRK costs in Melbourne?

septerra

Anyone able to provide me updated costs for 2011, for me to get PRK / LASEK done in Melbourne? Im unable to find any new or recent info on how much it would cost for me to get the surgery done on both eyes. Also note, its only PRK or LASEK that I have to do and NOT LASIK.
Would it then be possible to provide me with a very rough or broad price range to be expected. Am I close in assuming a bill between 2-3k per eye?

Answer
I believe every laser clinic bases prices on the persons prescription and the complexity of what has to be done so there is no set price anyone can quote.

There must be more than one clinic in Melbourne, so they would all have their own prices also.

For info like you want, the only way is to do it yourself by phone or visiting them for the info you need.

Hello,

I need some advise for my eyes.I would be very glad if someone could help me.Right now I'm quite tensed about them and not sure what to do.

First of all, I'm now 20 and will be 21 on August 2011,I'm suffering from Myopia. My current eye prescription is SPH(R)= - 4.75, CYL(R)= - 3.00, AXIS(R)= 20 and SPH(L)= -5.00, CYL(L)= -1.75, AXIS(L)= 170.I had it checked yesterday.

My previous prescription was made on August 2008 with the following: SPH(R)= - 3.75, CYL(R)= - 3.75, AXIS(R)= 20 and SPH(L)= - 3.50, CYL(L)= -1.75, AXIS(L)= 170.

My nearsighted eyes were first detected on April 2006 when I had the following prescription: SPH(R)= - 2.00, CYL(R)= - 2.00, AXIS(R)= 10 and SPH(L)= - 2.25, CYL(L)= -1.25, AXIS(L)= 170.

Now my questions are-
1.Will my vision stabilize anytime soon?
2.Can get Lasik eye surgery?

Please note: I'm an extreme PC user.I spent almost over 8 hours in front of my Laptop (in the weekends even more).Is this a cause of the increase of my eye power? I'm a software programmer and kinda have no choice but to look at the PC screen.

Feel free to share your experience if it's allowed by the community guidelines.
Thanks everyone.

Answer
1) Yes, it is likely that your vision will stabilize in the next 5 or so years - inherited progressive myopia (which is what presents during your teens unless you have some sort of other eye disease) generally does. I know it's frustrating that you have to wait for this, and it used to annoy the heck out of me because the eye dr started telling me "your eyes should start stabilizing" every year after 17 or 18 and they didn't (I am 24 now). But it is totally normal for them to continue to progress into your early/mid twenties.

2) It sounds like, based on your prescription level, that you'd be a good candidate *eventually*. Moderate myopia, moderate astigmatism. However, you really do have to wait until your eyes stabilize for at least a year. No reputable doctor would do it at your age if they hadn't, and you will get better results if you wait. LASIK is so common now that people act like it's no big deal - it IS a big deal. It's surgery that has significant risks (which are often not made clear enough by doctors performing it) and your eyesight is not something you want to mess around with.

3) (Computer use) Honestly, that's still up for debate (the studies go both says). IMO, strong computer use can cause eye strain and doesn't HELP any, but based on when your eyes got bad and how they've progressed, I think it's far more likely that you're dealing with old-fashioned inherited progressive myopia. As a general good practice, I'd take frequent eye rests when you're coding and make sure your screen brightness and resolution are set to a level that you aren't have to squint or strain to see.

It sounds like it would be a good idea for you to schedule a follow-up with your eye doctor to discuss what option you have and when s/he thinks you'll be eligible. Since you were just in for a visit, s/he may be willing to do this over the phone too.

or would they allow me to wear contacts while on active duty? because glasses strain my eyes.
i plan to do something in medical or legal, not diving, or flying planes, or anything like that.
i plan to do something in medical or legal, not diving, or flying planes, or anything like that.
I decided im going to wait, Thanks :)

A. Yes it would be a bad idea you would need to get a waiver just to enter after lasik which isnt all around that hard. but you wont qualify for some particular jobs. also why risk it because with some branches there kind of looking to disqualify you. but on the bright side after being in for a while since lasic is only given to those who have been around for at least six months minimum and once you get to your permanent duty station theyll pay for it at least itll be free.
Active duty U.S. Navy Youll have to wear glasses all throught bootcamp and theyre hideous gigantic coke bottle glasses but then you can get contacts after graduation
