Patient experiences undergoing the most advanced laser vision correction procedures (LASIK, PRK, LASEK, epi-LASIK) by Professor Dan Reinstein of the London Vision Clinic. Professor Reinstein explains the use of custom programming to help people see without glasses even for high prescriptions and ageing eyes (presbyopia). Beautifully produced video.
1% pf people have complications, doesn’t mean you have to go around trying to scare others away from the surgery.
@dirtbikeryzz ny vision got worse as a result of the surgery, the surgery caused problems with glare and double vision both of which can no longer be corrected with lenses. My eyes have been ruined by lasik, my vision is terrible and I have constant eye pain.
Because your vision can naturally get worse even after surgery. A lot of the time when your done you have 20/20 vision, but 6 months later 20/25. And in some cases it gets even worse. Not the surgery’s fault.
Cool story bro.
how did it go? mine is on three days
I have been completely destroyed by lasik vision correction. constant pain and uncorrectable blurry vision.
no, your doctor is lying to you
Hello Doctor,
My vision prescription is listed below:
RX – OD = Sphere (-225), Cylinder (-050), Axis (170)
RX – OS = Sphere (-200), Cylinder (-025), Axis (025).
I suggest that you do a good research on eye doc cuz not all doctors are good one in terms of hygines of the machines etc. Also, Ive learned to take a good care of my eyes from now on,cuz if you abuse your eyes again, they can go bad again, slowly but surely. Good luck!
ｍy eye surgery went absolutely wonderful and my vision is amazingly clear. However I cant tell the long term effect on this surgery but I heard that there is no hurmful effect, though ive heard that Tiger Woods did the 2nd surgery… im curious to know why.
How is your vision now post lasik procedure? Why did you get it done in the first place if you don’t mind me asking?
My eye doctor said I should wait a month to swim after the surgery. and a week to work out. Thats not true? My surgery is tomorrow.
Then why the fuck do eye doctors say the wouldn’t do it for themselves. Fuck them, just got back one and se told me that I need another pair of glasses
Braves catcher, Brian McCann, placed on disabled list with deteriorating vision after LASIK. Pro golfer, Retief Goosen, withdraws from tournament due to vision problems after laser eye surgery. Tiger Woods’ surgeon ordered to pay $850,000 for LASIK malpractice. You need to study up all you can before thinking about getting lasik. Read more at safelasikguide (.) com
Thanks for the info, but getting the surgery performed with an unstable prescription seems risky to me. I’m no doctor, but common sense tells me that an individual with fluctuating vision can have (and is more likely to have) his vision quickly regress even if the results of his surgery are excellent.
Either way, I underwent LASIK eye surgery last December and I couldn’t be more pleased. If anyone has questions regarding the experience, I’d be more than happy to help.
Some eyes stabilize at 18, some at 30. That is another reason why the ‘stability’ argument makes no sense – some people are stable between age 18 and 21, and then progress again in their mid twenties etc. See comment above.
But not everyone with a changing prescription is keratoconic – only 1 in 2000 people have keratoconus.
After this trial the FDA wrote the approval documents based on the criteria of the trial – in other words, patients had to be stable. There is no inherent problem with performing laser eye surgery on someone who is not yet stable. The only thing that *must* be secured is that instability is not related to a disease called keratoconus – a corneal condition upon which laser eye surgery *cannot* be performed. In keratoconus, the prescription is unstable.
The prescription does *not* have to be stable in all cases; this is what is often confused by non-expert surgeons. The us FDA approved laser eye surgery based on a clinical trial in which they only wanted to include people with stable prescriptions – otherwise, it would not have been possible to tell after surgery if the procedure was stable/permanent during the follow-up period of the trial.
Well the best time to have Laser eye Surgery is after you are 21. Cause The eye stops changeing or slows down. But as for me, I had PRK Surgery and now have 20/15 in both my eyes. I couldent be more impressed…
Hi LasikMan, I invite you to visit qxeyes is a website dedicated to sharing eye, there you can upload your video or add the url from youtube if you prefer, you can also view documents, articles and discuss videos.
It depends on the organization. At the place that I’m getting it done at (LASIK MD in Toronto), you must be between 18 and 75. During my research, though, I’ve come across places that require you to be 21+, and even 25+. The most important factor, however, is your prescription — it must be steady for at least two years prior to getting surgery.
how old do you have to be to get the lasik?
it is painfull m8?????i will have it on december perhaps and it scares the crap out of me..:-P
oh and i had LASIK (i`m 18 years old so if i could do it..i`m sure other ppl can)
