LASIK Eye Surgery

Within the past 6 months my vision has gone from 20/20 in boths eyes to 20/70 in the right eye and 20/110 in the left eye. I visited the optometrist and they told me i should get glasses. I was wondering if I can avoid surgery and corrective lenses by eating certain foods or doing certain eye exercises. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The answer is simple, no. You’ll have to wear glasses or contacts..sorry! A side note, carrots are good for the eyes, but, wont correct your vision, just good for eye health.

I know it varies from doctor to doctor or clinic to clinic, I was just wondering about a rough estimate.

I paid about $1200 per eye, but I also got the lifetime guarantee (if my eyes start going bad again, I don’t have to pay to get them fixed, they’ll redo the surgery at no cost)

Does everybody know the down time for lasik surgery? Alot of people say they have their eyes perfectly good after 24hrs but my friend had it and it has been 5 days and she is still seeing blurry. She cant see far away and cant see closebye either. Does anybody know?

Had mine done at 4PM went home and to bed. Next morning at the doctors office at 7AM and to work at 8AM. Had a halo effect driving at night for about a week. My eyes continued to improve for weeks afterwards. The greatest thing in the world.

I am thinking of doing Lasik surgery and I want to find the best surgeon in my area. I don’t care about the cost, so would you recommend any in Connecticut?

You may want to consider a Lasik doctor whose patient outcomes have been certified by our nonprofit organization.

I read up on requirements and it said No radial Keraotomy or something to that affect i looked up what that was and it is laser eye surgery. However I proceded to look up LASIK eye surgery which is now much more common and it is not The same as Radial Keraotomy (miss spelling, I know, sorry.) its a different kind of surgery so I don’t no. Help please

Jeeper, your advice if someone took it could disqualify them for Air Force SOF service. You should do more research or cease answering questions like this if you aren’t interested in providing accurate information.

LASIK will disqualify you for Military Free Fall. If you can’t attend MFF, you can’t be an STO, CRO, PJ or CCT. It’s a requirement for all of those jobs.

PRK and LASEK are your only two options if you wish to serve in Air Force SOF.

We’ve had better results with PRK and the waiver process is getting faster. For those already on active duty, it’s only a 6 month wait now. For those that have the surgery done as civilians, it is still 1 year but if someone really pushes for the waiver, it can be a bit less.

LASEK is a year regardless, active duty or civilian.

After having lasik eyes surgery, is it safe to wear color contacts?

Once you are considered healed, you can. I have seen some of out patients that had lasik come in for Colored lenses.

I know it differs for everybody but i would like to get my underarms done. How much do you think it costs?

about 250 to 300.OO

I’ve been wondering about Lasik, but I’m really squeemish with my eyes; I can’t even put contacts in because it freaks me out so much. So here’s my question: Can you be anesthetized during Lasik?

I haven’t even decided if I want to have it done, and if I do, it won’t be done anytime soon.

I just want to know if I should keep considering it.

Any help would be appreciated!

I’ve had lasik, and I have had the same problem as you. I doubt you can be anesthetized (though there is the possibility), but I will tell you right now that it really isn’t that bad. In fact, it was very fast and really painless. When I went in, they just told me to keep looking at the red light. I decided to focus on doing exactly that no matter what, and I did, but "no matter what" didn’t happen—it was much better than I had expected. There is one moment where the red light goes fuzzy, but they have it where you can’t blink or anything and that moment of fuzziness is the only part—it’s interesting more than it is scary. By far the worst part was the anticipation of it. My vision is now even better than perfect vision, and it’s been that way ever since I had it about five years ago. And back then, I was what the doctor called "20-blind." I could see perfect close, but hardly anything a few feet in front of me. My brother, who had much better eyesight than me, also had the lasik surgery and he hasn’t regretted it, either.
One thing I would highly recommend, though, is to get a good eye doctor (don’t just do the cheap thing on the adds unless you know that doctor is very good). They’re your eyes and are worth the extra money (it would probably be cheaper than bein anesthetized anyway). I made sure I got the best eye doctor I could, and I’ve never regretted that decision. Make sure you tell the doctor your problem. I’m sure he could reassure you or let you know your options, etc.
Good luck with your decision.
