Lasik Eye Surgery

HarajukuGirl · Feb 17, 2008, 01:03 PM

Hey

So I was thinking about getting Lasik Eye Surgery this why I don't have to wear glasses.

I am a little bit skeptical about the procedure though.

IF you have had it

How is the surgery preformed?
How long is it for each eye?
Is it painful at all?
Price Ranges?
msot importantly. . .
Is it worth it?

I am going to speak to a doctor about it as well but I first thought asking people who have it id done before might be helpful.

Thanks guys

That's a good idea. But you're on the right track, it's good to learn as much as possible about it all before you do it!!

Yah! knowing me I'll probably chicken out. The thought of havign my eye open for so long is weird

It's not that bad, it's only half an hour or so....and your eyeball and lids are totally numb. I'll be doing it myself in December.

Hm...
So I wont notice my eyes open at all?
You must be very excited..I think

Ohhh...
I wonder if the people can see the doctor opening the flap...
o.O

(If I do not respond it means I sleping :P )

You will notice that your eyes are open, but you won't feel it.

And you cannot see the doctor opening the flap, the lights go out. But you can see him smoothing the flap over and such...You just don't feel it.

I'm very very very very excited for mine!

There are some risks, as with ANY surgery. Though they are rare, they do exist.
