Lasik Answers

admin answers:

If you are considering LASIK you need to examine the costs. Cost is often a deterrent for many, but many surgeons will offer financing plans. Prices usually range from around $899 – $1499 per eye. Before having LASIK surgery please find the right surgeon and make sure that LASIK is the right vision correction procedure for you. Best of luck!

admin answers:

Sounds kinda fishy to me. My surgery cost $2100 per eye

admin answers:

I only tell u the cost:

81% of American who had Lasik eye surgery said Lasik was worth it and the costs you’ll actually pay for your LASIK depends on a number of factors, the Lasik eye surgery technology is the most important factor. Other including: The type of surgical instrument used to create the corneal flap; The skill, reputation, and experience of your surgeon; The community area of the country you live in.

Lasik average costs depend on technology in USA 2010

Wavefront IntraLase flap Lasik average costs : $2,360 per eye
Standard microkeratome flap Lasik average costs : $1,700 per eye

It costs about 5000~~~8000RMB(700$~~~1100$) for a shortsightedness surgery.

admin answers:

Don’;t do Lasik a friend of mine and I was coxing her into getting Lasik but a doctor told her it’s no good for your eyes long term and apparently when you get a little older your eyes are supposed to get worse.

admin answers:

I had PRK laser correction surgery on my eyes back in 2006 and 2007. When I went in for my consult with the surgeon, he told me that my best option was to have PRK instead of LASIK due to my high astigmatism, and he was reluctant to do that, I suppose I was lucky to get it while in the Navy.

So anyways, like I said, I had the surgery twice, after the first time my eyesight improved to 20/15 in my left eye and 20/70 in my right eye. The surgeon told me that he apparently under-treated my right eye, something about the time span from the laser hitting my eye after the solution he layered over my eye. What I gathered was he was playing it safe since after all, I had terrible vision.

I went back six months later and had my right eye retreated, by the Navy of course, for free. Everything after that was great, my vision in my right eye improved to 20/20 and I am satisfied customer two years later.

Bottom line is, you should weigh your options on both LASIK and PRK, the pros for LASIK is that it is a quicker recovery after surgery, but the cons are that it leaves permanent flaps in your corneas, which could become dislodged and “unflapped” with the right contact to the eye(s) which is dangerous. The pros for PRK is that there is no flap, it is the best surgery for astigmatism eyesight, and you get longer convalescent leave for it from the military (7 days).The cons are that it takes longer to recover from surgery and for you to have the optimal eyesight you desire (up to six months).

I hope this answers your question.

admin answers:

Definitely not,but be careful while undergoing such a surgery,because the topology of your cornea needs to get assessed by a good and more by a honest doctor,not some one who does anything for the greed of money,because you are gonna play with your eye,your vision, and talk to your doctor about the possible risks involved in this process.
Are you so obsessed with a pilot’s profession, as far as me, I would not take such a risk.

admin answers:

There is no problem about your lasik surgery. You have said that it was already 3 years ago, and you are too busy enough about using your eyes again. Lasik cannot provide you an automated effect to cure your eyes every time you use them. Once you have the surgery, your eyes will be normalized but it cannot do so again if your eyes will have a problem because of stress. The surgery has only its first-term effect.

There is no difference either you use UV glasses or not because your vision will remain the same as how you can see as you didn’t wear your glasses.

You must again wear eye glasses or contacts to correct your vision and to stop further damage of your eyes. It is not safe to take lasik one again ,so you have no other option.
Hope this will help.

admin answers:

Wouldn’t be DLK unless you had the corresponding decrease in visual acuity. With the light sensitivity, there definitely could be some low- or mid-grade inflammation, though the nature of that inflammation would be impossible to diagnose w/o an exam.

I recommend seeking the help of an optometrist or ophthalmologist to truly diagnose the issue. In the meantime, try a drop called, “Blink” (not for contacts). It’s new, a little gooey, so it sticks around longer than some other artificial tears. It’s similar in viscosity to restasis.

FYI–Restasis only works (typically) for ONE of the SIX disease states of “dry eye syndrome.”

One option: make a “follow-up” appointment with your LASIK surgeon. Often, if you chose a decent surgeon, they will help you out with this issue at no cost. Chances are, you may be looking at a little bit of time on a mild steroid drop (which hopefully they could give you a sample of).

admin answers:

The doctor wants to make sure your eyes are stable before doing lasik, which usually happens in the early 20′s. This was a helpful article about the procedure.

admin answers:

When I enlisted in 1994, you could not join the Corps at all if you had corrective eye surgery. Check with your local recruiter…

admin answers:

20/20 is the goal for most corrective procedures but as always there are exception in every person’s case. Some people are not right for the surgery due to the way that they see. You’ll definitely have to check with your eye doctor at your next visit. Special measurements have to be made and such.
In some cases if the surgery corrects for distance vision, you can lose some of your up close vision. This usually depends on your age and prescription though.
If you hate contacts and glasses definitely check into refractive surgery though.

admin answers:

Wait till 21 there will be even more modern operations

admin answers:

While I have no experience personally or with anyone in Atlanta, I used to work at an office that did Lasik procedures weekly.
You would have to be screened and tested before they even could determine if you’re a candidate. There are pretty strict guidelines and not everyone who wears glasses or contacts is eligible for it.
That being said, yes there are horror stories, as with everything else in life. Different people react differently. The best advice I can give you is- do your research. Listen to word of mouth (which seems to be what you’re looking for, so already you are on the right path).
Meet with numerous doctors and don’t be shy about asking questions. If they are a reputable physician, they should be ok to answer any and all questions you will have.
Remember, your vision is nothing to play around with.
And remember, you get what you pay for. Don’t go for someone just because they are cheap!

admin answers:

Day of surgery- You eye will feel a little picky, sunlight will be very bright, your eyes may water a little. But you should in no way have any severe pain/discomfort. Your vision will still be a little fuzzy but clearer than before the surgery in most cases.
You will sleep with goggles on to prevent you from accidentally rubbing your eyes..

Day 1- Vision will be getting clearer- you will be using the drops directed by your doctor to help with the healing so the pickyness will start to go away, along with the sunlight sensitivity. You will still be wearing the goggles at night, normally for the first 3-5 days. When you wake up in the am the vision will most likely be fuzzy and your eyes will feel dry until you put the medication in. Thats normal..

Day2-10- The vision will start clearing up and for the most part at this point the cornea is healed from the surgery and the vision will be almost at its best.

Day 10 and up There should be no pain, nor light sensitivity, the vision should be as good as its going to get at this point, and you should be finished most of the drops the doctor directed you to use.

Good luck…as long as this is a trusted doctor, and he did all of the proper testing go for it… Its worth it…I love to see the look on patients faces when they come in for their one day post op- Its like they were reborn with new eyes.. Its why i love my job so much!….

admin answers:

I was about 20/250 before Lasik surgery a couple of years ago. The procedure was painless, probably due to the eye numbing drops and Valium they gave me. The ride home (as a passenger, of course) was fairly uncomfortable, mainly due to light sensitivity. The doctor gave me dark goggles, but the light was still too bright. I was in some pain once I got home (maybe 3 hours post procedure), but I had some left over Vicodin, and took two doses of that. The Vicodin took the edge off. Slept fine that night. Woke up the next morning, and I COULD SEE FINE! Hallelujah! I was jazzed up about that. I drove myself to my one day check up (an 2 hour round trip) with no problems, although I did bring someone with me, as a backup driver, should it have been necessary. For that check up, I was seeing at 20/25, less than 24 hours after the surgery. I went to work that afternoon (doing ultrasound which really requires you to use your eyes). For my one week check up, I was seeing between 20/20 and 20/15. Other than the touch of pain I had post procedure, before I went to bed for the night, I had no other problems. I would do it again in a heartbeat! No more glasses, no more contacts, no more cleaning solutions and saline!

My advice would be to talk to everyone….talk to your family, friends and co-workers. Then ask your family, friends and co-workers to talk to their family, friends and co-workers….you get the idea. I found my surgeon by word of mouth. I asked everyone I know if they had Lasiks (or knew anyone who had Lasiks), and what doctor they went to. Almost everyone I talked to in my area went to the surgeon I ended up going to, and everyone was perfectly satisfied. I went into the procedure very confident!

Just one other thing….I went to a doctor who used computerized, laser equipment. No knives were involved. But, it cost me a pretty penny. I paid $5500 for both eyes, but I was not comfortable going to a doctor that advertised in the newspaper for $500 per eye. Sometimes you get what you pay for! Good luck to you!

admin answers:

LASIK operation is performed in a laser suite. You enter with your own clothes and shoes. Each step of the procedure is explained to you before the lasik procedure. For our really anxious patients, we have a physician who has been trained in psychiatry and who lived in the United States for many years. After your last questions are answered, you are asked to sign an informed consent form. If you are having a lot of anxiety, you are offered a capsule of Diazepam.

admin answers:

You shouldn’t experience any complications.

The first 3 days you will experience pain and discomfort – burning and tearing (like when cutting onions), you may feel like you have sand in your eyes.

After surgery the doctor should place a bandage contact lens in your eyes (it helps ease pain – pain would be worse without it) which you leave in (you won’t need to take it out/clean it like regular contacts, the doctor should take it out at your 3 or 5 day check up) – you should have a check up one day after surgery and either a 3 or 5 day depending on the laser being used for the treatment.

You should also receive a prescription for Vicodin that should be taken if necessary for any pain or discomfort. An optional medication that can also be prescribed to help w/pain would be Neurontin (or Gabapentin). You can ask your surgeon about getting a prescription for this. You would start it the morning of your surgery – taken 3 times a day for 4 days (12 tablets) total.

Good luck!

Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.

admin answers:

Did you have an assessment with a LASIK surgeon who told you your cornea were too thin and you were not a candidate?

If so, do not have the surgery. If your corneas are too thin, you will not have a good outcome, ending up still needing glasses or worse, ending up with unstable vision that cannot be corrected with glasses.

Our practice charges between 2800-4000 for both eyes. Just make sure you go to a reputable surgeon. Ask around to friends and co-workers. If a surgeon told me 500 per eye, I would run I had it done 2 yrs ago and I was -5.00 both eyes and I absolutely love it. It is worth the money!! Good Luck

admin answers:

Hey, I feel your pain. I’m 18 and already my vision is -7/20

…pretty bad I know. I actually jsut recently spent $300 on a years worth of contacts -.- but anyways, I actually asked my eye doctor about the eye surgery and she said that I may not be able to qualify. One because at the age of 18 I am still too young to risk it. And two, because my eyes are so nearsighted, they would have to cut way to close during surgery,that it would possibly do a lot of harm to my vision.

However, they are in the process of creating these things called “intacs” I’m pretty sure they’re called. Basically they’re contacts that go…in your eye =P It’s a one time thing, so it’s basically an alternative to lasic.

Do some research on it in google, see what u find =)

good luck

edit: lol contacts that go in your eye…-shock shock- -.- sorry I was rushing. I meant to say, they are literally inside of your eye…i’m not sure how they are placed there but I assume the cut back the layering as they do during laser surgery and place it in there.

It is not out yet, but they are developing it, and by the time u are old enough, I’m sure it will be out there =)

admin answers:

1) Does it hurt?
No. But you will smell a strange odor when the laser is making the flap on your corneas.

2) Are you awake?
Yes

3) How long does the surgery take?
30 minutes total (around there, at least)

4) How long does it take to recover?
By the next day you’ll be able to drive, but you may experience some problems with night vision which are temporary. You need to go to a follow-up appointment to see that your eyes are healing well.

5) What can go wrong?
You can either have undercorrected or overcorrected vision, in which case you need to have a second Lasik procedure done to fix it

6) Can I go blind?
No, but there a risk that your vision may be WORSE than before

7) How old do you have to be to get it?
At least 21, with stable vision for two years. You need to get a consulation to see if you qualify. If you don’t qualify for Lasik, you may be a candidate for another laser eye correction surgery.
What is the range of pricing?
As of now, because of the economy, the price for Lasik may decrease or stay the same. (in 2008 it cost $1,500-$3,000 PER EYE).

admin answers:

You’ll need to wear your glasses (leave your contacts out) for two weeks prior to surgery (that’s the FDA recommended waiting time for soft contact wearers — it’s longer for people with hard contacts of toric or RPG lenses). This is necessary because your contact lenses change the shape of your eye; you want your eyes to get back to normal before they start up that laser, otherwise they’d be doing surgery on a surface that’s still changing!

As for getting the eyes done together or at different times…

These days, most people who have Lasik get both eyes done at once. If you have them done separately, you’ll find that it isn’t at all like when you take one lens out right now. As soon as the surgery is over, you’ll start seeing an improvement, so the vision in your “corrected” eye and the vision in the other eye (with the contact lens) are going to be a lot closer than you think.

I got mine done 1 month apart because I was having PRK (which has a longer healing time) and they wanted to make sure that Eye #1 was responding well before doing Eye #2. For two weeks before the second surgery, I had to wear my glasses, so I just popped one lens out of the frame. It looked a little goofy but it was well worth it knowing I’d never have to wear those glasses or lenses again!

Other than that, there’s not much prep involved until you get to the doctor’s office and they give you some drops and maybe some medication.

Afterwards, there can be side effects, some more likely than others. Glare and halos are most common. It’s also possible that your vision may not become “perfect” afterwards, and you have to accept that possibility. Mine isn’t perfect, probably because my eyes were so horrible to begin with (-9) — but I still consider this surgery the best thing I could ever have done for myself and my health! Do I get halos? Yes, at night, and I still say it’s worth it! Pick a doctor who has a great reputation. Don’t be afraid to google him or her to look into his credentials.

admin answers:

Can’t you just ring up the clinic or wherever you got the procedure done and talk to someone there about it? There’s no reason they wouldn’t answer your questions – that’s what they’re there for

admin answers:

This sounds like you are having more trouble with dryness than you may think. Some people get VERY dry during the night. If that is happening, then it may take you some time during the day for your tears to improve to the point where you can see clearly. I would recommend using wetting eye drops aggressively throughout the day but especially in the morning.

You do not need naturally perfect vision to be a military pilot. Do not give up on being an Air Force pilot or take on the risks and costs of surgery based on what people say here. Please check with official and documented sources rather than the misinformation you usually find on Answers or the speculations of others, and don’t make any decisions until you independently verify the information.

That’s normal with Myopia. You won’t go blind. We just need glasses to see correctly.

Lasik surgery has too many bad points and hasn’t been around long enough to find out long term effects. I wouldn’t get it.
I have Dry Eye Syndrome. The surgery can cause dry eye syndrome to get worse. For that reason alone, I am not getting it.

admin answers:

The number of planes in the military is dropping. So they need less pilots. On the opposite side, they always have a ton of applicants for pilot training. So they do everything they can to ensure those who get it stay around for many years.

ACADEMY grads are at the top of the list for the pilot training programs. Next are those who got degrees via the ROTC system. Next is everyone else. If you have bad eyes why should they choose you over someone who has 20-20 vision? And LASIK causes issues down the road. Why go with someone who has had LASIK when they can go with someone who needs no eye surgery with a potential of a problem later?

I suggest you go the airline pilot route. Get that and a degree and then you might be able to be a pilot in the Air National Guard or USAF Reserves. You will already have a bunch of training done and they are more likely to take you, bad eyes and all.

admin answers:

Well, I can’t really send you to website or anything. But I can tell you my experience. I used Corneal Consultants ( http://corneacolorado.com ) which is located near Highlands Ranch. Dr. Damiano was my doctor. I used doctors from this office for normal eye check ups for at least a decade before I had the eye surgery. Both Damiano and Forstot have impressive resumes. I was happy with my results (I did PRK instead of LASIK, but they are pretty similar). I felt more comfortable with them since they are both corneal surgeons that do much more complicated procedures than LASIK (things like transplants). I figured if anything went wrong, I had a doctor who could do something about it. And the ‘cutting’ involved in PRK or LASIK would be simple compared to what they normally do (and do well). There are two drawbacks. First, they are more expensive than other places. I personally think my eyes are worth the expense of a doctor I trust. And the ‘money back’ offers are so silly in my opinion. “Hey, we just blinded you, but don’t worry, here’s you $200 back!” THe second drawback is that these guys are busy, so it can be harder to get quality time with the doctor. Almost all the office contact I had was with a trainee. But then again, you don’t feel bad about asking a trainee a bunch of stupid questions. And the trainee had an MD as well, so he knew what he was talking about.

Well, I hope that helps. My advice would be go for a consult and find a doctor you trust. And good luck! I really do like waking up in the morning and being able to read the alarm clock.

admin answers:

Complications vary quite substantially, because they’re dependent on the individual surgeon, the model of laser being used, and the post-operative care (what type of antibiotics, frequency of steroid dosing, etc.) Generally speaking, things are less risky than they were five years ago, because everyone in the field is constantly striving for improvement. Off the top of my head, I’d say the big risks are visual disturbances (haloes, glare, etc), infection, and loss of best-corrected visual acuity. The first one is fairly common, probably around 10%, but in many cases improves 6-12 months after surgery. The second should be next to nothing at any surgical centre, provided you follow their directions for drops afterwards. (When I went for my procedure, I was quoted a rate of less than 1/100,000, because they’d done 100,000 procedures and hadn’t had one yet.) Loss of BCVA is more troubling, I’d estimate it’s probably under 1%, and is certainly better with wavefront technology and aberration measurements, which are more or less standard nowadays. A lot of people complain about needing glasses or contacts afterwards; I think it’s important to remember that wherever you go, they can’t stop your eyes from changing or aging, and realize that the goal of laser surgery generally is to improve your vision and decrease your dependence on glasses.
The safest procedure to correct astigmatism (with or without myopia or hyperopia) is custom / wavefront-guided refractive surgery. I’m not convinced that LASIK (with bladeless technology, aka IntraLase) or PRK is better; visual outcomes tend to be the same. LASIK is much more comfortable during healing than PRK, so it’s generally the preferred procedure. I’d never recommend the microkeratome-based (non-bladeless) procedure to anyone; many of the flap-related complications are much more common with this older method.
TLC has a good reputation, but so do many other centres, including smaller regional ones. Surgical outcome is really more dependent on the surgeon than the centre, whereas price and warranty and so on are centre-dependent.

I was very nervous about getting a lasik surgeon initially. To learn abut Lasik I read the book Refractive Laser Eye Surgery by Chris Knobbe. It was very helpful. I found a doctor fairly easily online here is a list of Lasik Pompano Beach, FL centers

My eyes were a little bit dry for around a month or so after surgery. I would really try and make sure you get those drops in just as often as possible because I really think it helps.

As far as keeping them moist at work, there’s a product that I’ve seen on TV that is a mist for your eyes. See the link below. It looks like something that you could apply throughout the day a whole lot quicker and easier than drops.

If you have a window in your classroom, you might want to open it up to raise the humidity in the room.

Hope this helps and good luck. I been loving my Lasik eyes for almost a year now!

admin answers:

I have had laser surgery done and I also work at the ophthalmologist’s office where I had it done. You would have to have an evaluation to see if you are a candidate for surgery because it depends on the corneal thickness and what your prescription is. It is a very good surgery and I would recommend it to anyone. There are actually two different types of surgery. The Lasik is where you cut a flap in the cornea and laser underneath. The recovery time for this is only about 4-5 hours and the vision is pretty much immediately good. If your corneas are thin or you have dry eyes, the second option is called ASA. It’s basically the same procedure except that the laser is done on the surface of the cornea. The recovery for this is 2-5 days because you have to give your corneas time to replace the cells that were removed. Also, since it’s on the surface, it takes more time for the vision to come around. This is actually the safest, older version of laser surgery. Both are very good options. One thing, if you get Lasik, make sure the doctor does Intralase instead of a mechanical laser because the mechanical laser has a much higher rate of complications. You are awake for the surgery but you do not feel anything because they numb your whole eyeball. They also usually give you a relaxer so you’re not nervous. The price can range from approx. $2000-2600 per eye depending on the procedure. Since you wear contacts, you will need to have them out for a certain amount of time before the measurements can be done. This is because contacts slightly change the shape of your eye. If you wear hard contacts they change the shape a lot more so it will need to be much more time out of contacts.

admin answers:

Lasik is often more of a six month process than a 20 Minute Miracle. Your eyes have just had microsurgery. They are healing. It is reasonable to expect some fluctuation in vision quality, etc., even differences with your own two eyes.

Http://www.usaeyes.org/lasik/faq/lasik.htm

It is very early in the process and your problems may resolve with healing. There are several patients on our organization’s bulletin board that had similar initial response that eventually resolved. You may want to read their posts and compare notes.

admin answers:

Your doctor is exactly right. It usually takes a few weeks to a few months for the eyes to “even out” after the surgery. My vision was 20/15 right after lasik (from numbers off the chart, greater than 20/400) and stayed the same, while my fiance’s vision was about 20/40 after surgery and improved to about 20/30 within a couple months.
20/40 vision is still very good (although depending on your occupation, you may need 20/20…), and doesn’t require glasses, which is the point of the surgery anyway, isn’t it? Anyway, I wouldn’t worry about it yet, give it time to improve and even out. Good luck!
