The Video that LASIK Doctors Don't Want You To See

When lasik goes bad, there is no Plan B. Your eyes are your most precious sense---you need them to drive, work, play, read...When you have lasik complications, you can only escape the trashed vision by sleeping, and that's only if you are able to sleep after you figure out what has happened to your eyes. See lasikflap.com and lasikdisaster.com for more information.

I was thinking of getting lazer eye surgery next month when i turned 18 and now i dont want to. I think ill stick to my contacts and glasses so there will be 0 chance of complications.

[LASIKeyes]

You are a smart young person!!

[dohboiii]

say u get poked in the eye harddd (not during surgery, just normal life) and like u accidentally tear a hole in the flappp (in a normal eye it wouldnt be a flap of course)

[LASIKeyes]

Then usually the flap is damaged and has to be removed. It's called "flap dislodgement" and there are many reports in the scientific literature of this happening.

How long ago was this lasik procedure done? I am having surgery done in one week and was assured that everything would go fine. I honestly don't believe most of the comments on here and wish you would keep your opinions to yourselves unless if you are doctors. Thanks.

[LASIKeyes]

Well, now, if we only listened to the doctors, they would say that lasik is perfect, safe, no problem and no one would know the truth! What an idiotic comment!

[liger0yager]

Yes it happened to my aunt but im not THAT young im 17 18 in a few months still i never knew they did this if i knew this i never even wouldve thought about eye surgery. ill stick to contacts and glasses then.

im planning to get eyesurgery when im older now im just scared

[LASIKeyes]

If you had an honest doctor, you would know about the complications and what your risk is. You would know what you should worry about. Problem is, the doctors want your money! Conflict of interest (in their wallet) to give you the truth.

[LASIKeyes]

LASIK took the youngest United Airlines pilot to reach the rank of captain right out of the sky. He can no longer fly.

If you were a LASIK surgeon who truly cared about people, you would be apologizing for what happened to this patient rather than calling those of us with complications "idiots". Obviously, you have no heart.

ouch :(

I had lasik and no problems whatsoever; still as with any surgery, there are risks.

I had bad astigmatism and needed glasses for everything, now I have 20/20, but as you say there are risks and people should make an informed decision and get the best doctor possible and not look for cheap prices (you get what you pay for).

You guys are idiots. LASIK has helped fighter pilots stay in the air. I am a LASIK Surgeon and have had the LASIK. There is no other procedure as good or as safe. PICK THE RIGHT SURGEON!
