Hey were you happy with results? Dryness?

[c00lb0y10]

Are you Japanese? How much did the surgery cost? How old were you when you underwent this operation?

@karaicy btw this conversation is getting ridiculous :)

[ashepe]

@karaicy "a medical fact that there are no reports of anyone ever going blind(...)" Well that would be a statistic fact, but that is not a fact. Though you might be unable to find such reports on the world wide web, does NOT imply that it is a fact, that LASIK has never been a direct or indirect cause of blindness(through infections etc.). Not all information is available on the internet. But the most common risks as I understand it is: double vision, dryness, light sensitivity and floaters.

yep, Im canceling

@karaicy cont... My surgeon is very well known in Raleigh and in the Lasik community, and has performed over 24,000 successful surgeries- that's a lot of people! She is highly respected here. So to lower the risks of any kind, always go to someone that has a LOT of experience and modern equipment- some of the greatest machines are now even FDA approved.

@ashepe Actually, I never said there was no risk. Before the surgery, the patient will sign below a list of potential risks.But it is true and a medical fact that there are no reports of anyone ever going blind based on current modern laser equipment - 15+ years ago when it was new? Probably). That does not mean it could not happen, but it is extremely rare and unlikely. Cont...

@karaicy So because nothing happened to you, and the 10 people you talked with it about does not mean that there is no risk. And yes people have gone blind from it, it is wrong to say "no one has ever gone blind" - It is simply not correct. But I am truly glad that the operation was successful for you :-) Happy new year man! Peace and love!

@alisonintheburgh You're welcome! It's not bad at all, I promise! Just go to someone that has plenty of experience! :)
