PreOp® Patient Education: Lasik Laser Eye Surgery

I have been in extreme pain ever since my lasik 1 year ago, I can't work I can't socialize my vision sucks, Lasik ruined me! please don't get this surgery its not safe! I am prove I have metal particles lodged in my eye as a result of this surgery, they can't be removed. My eyes are always dry and in pain and its driving me crasy, I don't think I can take it much longer.

Lol don't scare people. Lasik eye surgery is actually very safe. and how did metal particles get lodged in your eyes -.-

@speedstakerguy the tool that they use to cut open the cornea before the laser can do the reshaping is metal and it leaves metal particulate behind everytime it is used. My current opthamologist told me that lasik done with a blade will always leave some metal particulate in the eye. All laser lasik will also result in some particulate matter being left in the eye, just not the metal particulate. Lasik is note safe, glasses and contact lenses are safe.

i dont believe you but, SUCKS FOR YOU

@speedstakerguy like me before I got lasik, you obviously know nothing about the procedure, yes it does suck for me... lasik sucks and is ruining peoples lives

Well, mostly all people on youtube say that its well worth it. You just got unlucky. ha.

@speedstakerguy there's a lot more people with lasik problems then you think, nobody gets a completely perfect result and many get a really bad result like me. This procedure needs to be banned in my opinion.

WOW - this is pretty educational...

Jake... let's put it this way. We were a group of 4 friends who did this surgery together. From a scale of 0 to 10, all of them gave it a "0" grade for pain. I am the only one that gave it a "1" grade, only when the docter attached a ring on my eyeball for the C-cut. It was not pain... just a "uncomfortable feeling"... like when a fat baby sits on your toes. That's it! With the anaesthetic drops... you feel nothing!

They told me they will be using a laser to cut the flap and then the laser for the mainpart of the surgery. Is it discomforting when they put the thing over your eye and hold it open ? What is the pain level, I know they give allot of volume and anasetitic but just wanna know as much as possible before i get it done.
