Well, 2 1/2 years later my vision is still perfect so I'm extremely happy. I use eyedrops in the morning, but other than that I don't have any problems with dry eye at all. Overall I would have the procedure again and I recommend it to anyone who wears glasses and contacts. Just make sure you do some homework and research the doctor you are considering going to. That's what I did.

wtf is that bubble looking thing under the layer after everything ><

Do you mean the little white ring inside the pupil? I think that's just a reflection of the ring light on the Lasik device.

Detached flaps don't cause blindness and they used to do the surgery by completely removing the flap. If the flap isn't properly smoothed it can cause vision trouble, but the natural fluid around the eye causes a suction on the flap and I don't think they have too much trouble with wrinkles. Plus, the flap can still be lifted up to a year after the procedure so there's plenty of time for them to reposition it if there were wrinkles before it is fully healed back into place.

What you see in the video is the doctor sliding a thin metal "spatula" under that flap that was created to allow him to fold it back so the shaping laser could do its job. The Intralase creates tiny air bubbles under the flap about 1/10,000 of an inch wide to separate the flap from the cornea, but the doctor still needs to slide the spatula under there to complete the separation.

I undergo a LASIK operation under Dr. Noel Lacsamana of Int'l Eye Center in Pampanga, Philippines last Nov. 19, 2006. My vision is back to 20/20. No side effect. Very successful.Now, I have been a champion sports gun shooter and a member of a dart club. LASIK is true. No pain. It took 15 mins on both eyes. I trust my doctor. I believe am in good hands. The Lord guides. Dr. Lacsamana is a good doctor. Maybe the best LASIK operator in the whole world! If you need him, contact him at +639209099937.

by the way several years ago a disgruntled lasik patient in st. louis shot his doctor and chased the assistant all over the facility and shot that person as well. both of the wounded lived.

If you knew and could comprehend what I know, you would not be lying to patients every day NOT MENTIONING the FLAP NEVER HEALS, DRY EYE SYNDROME IS GUARANTEED, THEIR CORNEA BECOMES IRREGULAR MAKING IT 5 TIMES HARDER TO FIT FOR CONTACTS OR GLASSES AND ABOUT 10 TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE. I'm sure you also explain the INFORMED CONSENT that protects the doctor even if he makes a mistake, and does NOT protect the hurt patient.

also, my "boss" did not attend a weekend seminar. he studied at the bascom palmer eye institute in FL and before he did lasik, he did cataract surgery and complete cornea transplants. he has done over 400 successful lasik procedures. Sadly, there are lasik centers out there like you describe. we are not one of them. quit saying that i need to get "educated." i know more about lasik than you EVER EVER EVER will. so put up or shut up.
