This looks horrible, but it really wasn't all that bad. Like @laspanishchica, I had myself a good cry beforehand, but they do their best to calm you down and make sure you feel nothing but a little pressure. Worst part was definitely anticipation, and the clamps they put in to keep your eye open- everything else was breeze and only took a matter of seconds.
ok will the peopl who think it' bad SHUT UP IT'S LIKE 1 MILLION CHANCE YOU WOULD LOOSE YOUR EYE SIGHT FROM THIS SO DON'T GO TO THOSE VIRUS CRAP WEBSITES THIS SHITBAGS ARE TELLING YOU TO GO TO OK? LISTEN TO ME
I wear glasses, I'm way too young anyway, but did you really not feel any pain? And those things [I don't know what's it called in English) that they used to keep your eye open..That looked sick..Was it uncomfortable?

not happening... not happening at all.. this is brutal.. i had PRK done on me 3 months ago. my no. was -8.45 and -7.0
feels good now.. though i have some haze and some blurry halos around bright objects.. but still nothing that cant be worked around... and the doc says that its to be expected and can go away with the medications...:)
@laspanishchica the cornea is pretty much what filters the light into your eye...down inside to your retina. Without it, light isn't sent through your eye properly if at all
@nebulae87 It was really scary, i was even crying at the lasik place. it doesn't hurt, but you really feel pressure on your eye, but they numb your eye so that you don't feel the slicer, well you feel it but it doesn't hurt. but the pressure kind of "hurts," not really but its just weird. and i had a stigmatism. i can see really good now. it's worth it. the doc said i wont have to ever need to do this procedure again. i'm just happy i got it done, i feel more confident now.
Anyone else have to have surgery on their eyes more than once? Because I had mine done and at first they were fine, over time the right one has gotten progressively blurry and I'm having to have them checked, now I have to have the muscle in my eye checked, will have to have more surgery, it's become an ordeal. Anyone else with similar story?
hahaha that would be my eye ball....i was awake but had some anesthetic drops that made me really drowsy..couldnt feel anything other than pressure of the instruments
are U still happy with the Lasik U may find issues down the road I hope it really works for U minus 7.5 is pretty high for lasik procedure my prescription is more like minus 10
Yes, but the LASIK doctors are ALL CHARLATANS...you are absolutely misrepresenting and misdefining "Success Rates" stating a 95.4% success rate however YOU the Doctor/Asking the patient for $5k...Why don't you tell the truth to your patients for once in your life! Why don't you tell them the FLAP never heals, permanently scars a perfectly healthy cornea, only lasts for a short time, and leaves about 1,000,000 Americans ruined with no recourse...Be a man, and practice the f..n Hippocratic Oath!
the nerves is up to u to calm down...if uve done ur research u will know wot ur getting urself into....theres a small light u are asked to keep looking at so ur eye doesnt move around....i felt like i was moving around alot but apparently i wasnt...u just need to concentrate on the light and leave the rest to the doctor its all u can do.... the nerves are excessive
that part wasnt painful u just feel pressure....the only part i cud feel and smell (dead skin) was when the flap was sealed with heat... he had to pause every now and then to let it cool down...
You may need reading glasses when you are in your 40's was what I was told. I really do not give a damn, I am glad I had this done and I am enjoying my sight and my freedom from glasses and contacts right now!! Whoo Hooo!
But, what if, a patient takes the LAW into their own hands, now ruined and suicidal feeling there is nothing to live for? Doesn't this create an "x" factor for the Lying LASIK Doctors to think about? Does safety now come before money for once? Only time will tell. Basically, the Lying LASIK Doctors have lied in order to save a lawsuit, while pushing the patient past the Statute of Limitations to sue them which is about 2 years usually, all while ruining his patient's eyesight and life.
If 10,000,000 Americans have had LASIk and the FDA says there is a 5% dissatisfaction rate, that equates to 500,000 Americans being hurt. A much higher number than the 142 currently being reported. See what I mean about the Lies? I think the true number of eyes hurt is more like 25% of all eyes over a 10 year period. Remember, the FLAP never heals. Google: Lasik FDA, Lasik Suicides, Lasik Nightmare, Lasik Complications, Lasik Disaster, Lasik Hell, Lasik dry eye, Lasik Ruined Lives.
you can say that for pretty much anything...there are risks with pretty much everything in life...for instance there is a risk driving your car and might get killed...but that chance is slim
INCORRECT...The Lying LASIK Quacks are falsifying "success rates" stating a 95.4% success rate, when it is more like 45.9%!! The FDA even held an Emergency LASIK Panel on April 25th, 2008 to discuss this.

We spoke in front of the FDA Panel this week telling them that there are about 10,000 hurt LASIK patients, not the reported 140 complaints they are stating. Anyway. Google: Brian Williams LASIK FDA NBC, LASIK CBS, LASIK ABC, LASIK CBC.
today when i went to the eye docter or whatever u call it (i forgot) umm theey found out i was near sided and my dad wears glasses and he said i want u to get lasic eye surgry cuz glasses r hard to keep up with and so my dad asked him and he said 35 and im 11 doesnt that suck
Listen everybody, I've had to wear glasses since I was five and I think this is a wonderful procedure. I'm saving my money right now to have it done. I know that there's risk's but I would risk my sight in one eye not to have to wear glasses and to be able to roll over and see what time it is.
Lasik is causing teen and young suicides. The Lying Lasik Drs are NOT telling patients this, as the industry would CRUMBLE. The bottom line, is before you decide on Lasik, check PRK, ORTHO K, and/or stick with NOT creating a PERMANENT FLAP THAT NEVER HEALS AND IS PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS FOR ETERNITY. Stick with contacts and glasses. The industry isn't making enough money on these, so they come out with SURGERIES to try to trick you, and then you spend more money ongoinng...You've been warned!
Hey. I've decided to go thru with this operation very soon... I've been extremely short sighted all my life but am going to get my vision fixed. Your vid was really interesting to watch (if a wee bit gory) but at least I know what to expect. Thanks for posting! I hope to see soon!
Its more of a ya uncomfortable feeling, some docs do it real smooth for example like this guy.. Hes was great at it ud just be a bit uncormfortable because ur eyes is sensiitive, But it doesnt hurt as much as it looks! :)
It doesn't hurt at all. The only thing you feel is a little pressure before the flap is created. I had my surgery a year ago and I wish I had done this sooner! There is no pain at all. You eyes are numbed with eye drops and you are given a Valium to help you relax. My Lasik surgery was $ 2700.00. Which includes a year of follow ups in the price.
It took 30 seconds on one eye and 20 on the other. There are risks with any surgery. The laser is directlty over your eye, so I'm not sure why it wouldnt hit your eye. I have had no problems and excellent results.
mikey....ur good at explaing things....though that means 1 min ur done ur eyes fixed...though u can go blind if done wrong ight?...can u sue them?lol....
its possible that the flap gets cut wrong...they can cut straight thru the cornea and the result is worse than when u started...u dont go blind like that but its close enough... a cornea transplant can be done in this case but that can take years..
There are risks associated with any surgery. It is up to you to decide if the risks, which are small, are worth it. I have had very successful results with my lasik sugery. I would recommend it to everyone!!!
I dont recommend Lasik risky and U really need to be older til eyes stabilize but I am quite a bit older than 27 and my eyes still get worse a lot worse how bad is your prescription, stick to glasses even contacts are bad that i can tell U from experience curious what you think about my glasses
every case is unique some people are not good candidates for lasik... my eyes had been stable for 4 yrs before i had it done....ur glasses are so un-cool they can only be cool! ;)
It doesn't hurt at all. The only thing you feel is a little pressure before the flap is created. I had my surgery a year ago and I wish I had done this sooner! There is no pain at all. You eyes are numbed with eye drops and you are given a Valium to help you relax. My Lasik surgery was $ 2700.00. Which includes a year of follow ups in the price.
The FDA has had such an overwhelming response of "hurt lasik patients" complaining in mass numbers, that they sense something is wrong. Thus, they are now having an Emergency FDA Panel Discussion in Chicago, IL in April, 2008. Google: ASCRS FDA Lasik Chicago April 2008.
it is not so painful...you just may feel discomfort when doc. apply this retractor to separate your eyelids..and a heavy pressure sensation during procedure..
I had this surgery about 3 months ago and could not possibly be any happier with the results. I was a -9 in both eyes and now have 20/20 & 20/15. It pays to do your home work before selecting a doctor and don't choose one based on price because you get what you paid for.
this looks really basic compared to the machine they used when i had lasik surgery on 14 December. It looks far worse here than it did when I had it done. It's not quite a walk in the park but it's not painful at all. Don't listen to scaremongers on here. Ask an optician or doctor.
It is not painful at all. You are given numbing drops. And a Valium to help you relax. It was so quick for me, and I never had any pain whatsoever. I would recommend anyone to have it done.
dkantis... Do u have 20/20 vision? or were u left w dry eye syndrome bc of a previous surgery?? I mean its the individuals own fault for not researching well enough and for going to a pathetic so called doctor.
Lying Lasik Doctors will tell you anything in order to get your $3,000. Patients are committing suicide, have dry eye syndrome so badly that they can't sleep at night, are having divorces, and going blind. Ooh...and the FLAP they create with a used razor blade NEVER HEALS and is left there as a permanent scar tissue for life!! Google: lasik suicides, lasik dry eye syndrome, lasik sos, lasik kills, lasik lawsuits, lasik destroyed lives, lasik glenn hagele crsqa doctors, lifeafterlasik.
Would you go up in an airplane if you knew that it would crash 50 percent of the time? Most would say absolutely not, but unfortunately, the industry is so greedy that potential patients aren't even getting true Informed Consent, but instead it's a form to benefit the doctor so you can't sue them. Remember it's all about money.
Tiger Woods's ex girlfriend Kashmira Karanjia has been ruined from lasik, Regis Philbin, and Kathy Griffin are having major problems. Why isn't this on the news?
It doesn't hurt at the time, because they numb you up and give you valium, however, AFTERWARDS, it really really hurt me because they never told me to swab the salt deposits from my eyes... Going back to work the next day? Nope. Took two weeks. But, I see 20/20. I was legally blind. :)
goes to show that every doctor has a different proceedure... the best thing to do is find out what each doctor does and anyone who has had it done with them... everyone is going to have a different story, its just the risk u take!
I got lasik done in Germany two months ago. I went from -4.75 to having perfect vision. Find a good experienced surgeon. Being free from glasses is a great feeling.
Now is not the time to have refractive surgery in the United States. European patients have access to far better lasers, topographers, etc. Ask your doctor when the US FDA will approve the 1000 Hz iVIS laser platform so you can receive the smoothest ablation available today, for the best post-op vision.
America's FDA is both corrupt and too protective at the same time. They won't approve anything that'll give you a papercut, but they'll approve cancer-causing drugs for a few million dollars. O_o
This is a pretty good video. I had this done last week in Canada. There are other Lasik videos on youtube and they are awful, nothing like what I had done. It doesn't hurt at all.
I've thought about laser eye correction myself off and on but it's such a risk, I am very very short sighted and my glasses prescription is -6.00 in the high range where serious medical eye conditions can occur
There is a far superior laser, and vastly superior topographer, available now in Europe. Now is NOT the time to have laser eye surgery in the U.S. Wait for better technology, and put pressure on your local docs to demand that better technology gets FDA approval --there is NO good reason that European patients should enjoy better medicine than we do. Be patient and don't submit to inferior technology!!
Horrifying. im 13 and considering LASIK eye surgery when i meet the age reccomendations. It looked like you had piles of water dropping from your eyes. did u collect that all? lol no just kidding. it creeps me out though, it seems as if you were being unwillingly tortured.
If your sight changes about every 1 or 2 years don't get lasik, you will just throw your money away. Why? Your eyes are changing as a young person, and if U do have it done, you will be having it done every 2 years. At age 27 your eyes stop changing and really slow down. Thats the time to do lasik for HD quality vision "Custom Wavefront All Lasik"
no pain my op went well, its always a risk of course, i knew that but did it anyways. i just felt as though i had a contact lense wrong way round in my eye for a few hrs (uncomfortable but not painful) i hope ur husband feels beter
hi im 22 and liv in the uk like you were did u get it done how much etc, and did the flap stay closed and stuff, do u recomend it, i seen some of the american ones they look like they used another tool before opening the flap
I am amazed. I've always had an "eye thing" where I'm waaaaay protextive of my eyes and this procedure would make me go crazy. I have chills right now

You eyes are numbed with eye drops and you are given a Valium to help you relax. My Lasik surgery was $ 2700.00. Which includes a year of follow ups in the price.

2700 aint much...but followups?...but doesn't it depend on ur eyesight?my eyesight is pretty horrible....
Assassin7x 3 years ago
That was the price where I had it done. At this place, they charge everyone the same price.I'm sure it depends on where you go to have it done.
mikey155734 3 years ago
so 2700$ not much...how long would it take?....wait...my frien told me that if the laser doesn't hit my eye u can go blind....at ur own risk....
Assassin7x 3 years ago
It took 30 seconds on one eye and 20 on the other. There are risks with any surgery. The laser is directlty over your eye, so I'm not sure why it wouldnt hit your eye. I have had no problems and excellent results.
mikey155734 3 years ago
mikey....ur good at explaing things....though that means 1 min ur done ur eyes fixed...though u can go blind if done wrong ight?...can u sue them?lol....
Assassin7x 3 years ago
I have NEVER heard of anyone going blind with this procedure, but yes, I would imagine it is a possibility. I would think you could sue them.
mikey155734 3 years ago
wow soo in like 1 min ur done....after i get this surgery ima join the Army so thats in about uh...2-4 years....
Assassin7x 3 years ago
its possible that the flap gets cut wrong...they can cut straight thru the cornea and the result is worse than when u started...u dont go blind like that but its close enough... a cornea transplant can be done in this case but that can take years..

There are risks associated with any surgery. It is up to you to decide if the risks, which are small, are worth it. I have had very successful results with my lasik sugery. I would recommend it to everyone!!!
mikey155734 3 years ago
I dont recommend Lasik risky and U really need to be older til eyes stabilize but I am quite a bit older than 27 and my eyes still get worse a lot worse how bad is your prescription, stick to glasses even contacts are bad that i can tell U from experience curious what you think about my glasses
rickmilford 3 years ago
every case is unique some people are not good candidates for lasik... my eyes had been stable for 4 yrs before i had it done....ur glasses are so un-cool they can only be cool! ;)

i wonder if they give everybody a valium to help relax....i mean every lasik eye place

No they don't. I did not have one and they should have given one to me. I was literally shaking from freaking out.

The FDA has had such an overwhelming response of "hurt lasik patients" complaining in mass numbers, that they sense something is wrong. Thus, they are now having an Emergency FDA Panel Discussion in Chicago, IL in April, 2008. Google: ASCRS FDA Lasik Chicago April 2008.

I had this surgery about 3 months ago and could not possibly be any happier with the results. I was a -9 in both eyes and now have 20/20 & 20/15. It pays to do your home work before selecting a doctor and don't choose one based on price because you get what you paid for.

this looks really basic compared to the machine they used when i had lasik surgery on 14 December. It looks far worse here than it did when I had it done. It's not quite a walk in the park but it's not painful at all. Don't listen to scaremongers on here. Ask an optician or doctor.

Lying Lasik Doctors will tell you anything in order to get your $3,000. Patients are committing suicide, have dry eye syndrome so badly that they can't sleep at night, are having divorces, and going blind. Ooh...and the FLAP they create with a used razor blade NEVER HEALS and is left there as a permanent scar tissue for life!!

Would you go up in an airplane if you knew that it would crash 50 percent of the time? Most would say absolutely not, but unfortunately, the industry is so greedy that potential patients aren't even getting true Informed Consent, but instead it's a form to benefit the doctor so you can't sue them. Remember it's all about money.

Tiger Woods's ex girlfriend Kashmira Karanjia has been ruined from lasik, Regis Philbin, and Kathy Griffin are having major problems. Why isn't this on the news?
dkantis 4 years ago
It doesn't hurt at the time, because they numb you up and give you valium, however, AFTERWARDS, it really really hurt me because they never told me to swab the salt deposits from my eyes... Going back to work the next day? Nope. Took two weeks. But, I see 20/20. I was legally blind. :)

Now is not the time to have refractive surgery in the United States. European patients have access to far better lasers, topographers, etc. Ask your doctor when the US FDA will approve the 1000 Hz iVIS laser platform so you can receive the smoothest ablation available today, for the best post-op vision.
SandyK001 4 years ago
America's FDA is both corrupt and too protective at the same time. They won't approve anything that'll give you a papercut, but they'll approve cancer-causing drugs for a few million dollars. O_o

I've thought about laser eye correction myself off and on but it's such a risk, I am very very short sighted and my glasses prescription is -6.00 in the high range where serious medical eye conditions can occur
callmewilson 4 years ago
There is a far superior laser, and vastly superior topographer, available now in Europe. Now is NOT the time to have laser eye surgery in the U.S. Wait for better technology, and put pressure on your local docs to demand that better technology gets FDA approval --there is NO good reason that European patients should enjoy better medicine than we do. Be patient and don't submit to inferior technology!!

Horrifying. im 13 and considering LASIK eye surgery when i meet the age reccomendations. It looked like you had piles of water dropping from your eyes. did u collect that all? lol no just kidding. it creeps me out though, it seems as if you were being unwillingly tortured.
goofi1781 5 years ago
If your sight changes about every 1 or 2 years don't get lasik, you will just throw your money away. Why? Your eyes are changing as a young person, and if U do have it done, you will be having it done every 2 years. At age 27 your eyes stop changing and really slow down. Thats the time to do lasik for HD quality vision "Custom Wavefront All Lasik"
