Pay to call J_9 for advice ($.75/min) | I don't blame you there. You may not even be a candidate for Lasik surgery. You know that not all people can have this done.
I know, ummm, I think about 10 people that have had this done and only one regrets it as he sees halos at night, and his night vision is virtually ruined as far as driving at night goes.
Also, while some doctors are "licensed" or "certified" to do this, their track record proves less than admirable.
I would check (If you are in the US) with an FDA approved doctor.
Have you seen this site? US FDA/CDRH: LASIK - FDA-Approved Lasers for LASIK | |

| Well I know that I'm not getting the procedure done, some of the things I do to make money are dependant on my ability to see. Also in one of my jobs, there is a extremely high chance I'll be taking hits to the face. | |

| Well, I've never heard of it happening. Perhaps I just work for a great doctor. He's performed over 16,000 surgeries and no one has gone blind. How many people actually gone blind due to LASIK? | |

I'm not sure how many people have gone blind, but I do know that there are possibilities of hindered vision. | |

Blindness and hindered vision are two very different things. And if you are not a candidate for LASIK there are many other procedures for vision correction that are available. But I cannot think of anything other than contacts, glasses, and Laser eye correction to help you see better... | |

| Well either way, I can't have hindered vision or blindness. All I wanted to know if there was an alternative to eye surgery. | |
