what was your prescription before you had the surgery? what is your prescription (if you know it) now.

did you have astigmatism or any of that other shit?

im so sick of wearing contacts, I could puke. maybe instead of selling my bike to get a car, ill sell my bike to get vision.

-3.75 in both eyes for about a decade. My eye doctor still doesn't recommend it. I think he's still waiting on long-term effects of the surgery over 1st gen lasik. patients.

That sums up my take on LASIK to a tee.
It's just too soon to see what the long term risks will be.

And in my case, one eye has become marginally worse while the other has improved. It's a moving target that you're trying to pin down with a one-shot surgery.

I'll stick with glasses.

i did it almost 3 years ago. dont regret it one bit.

My eyes were pretty bad...i think 1 side was a -7.** and the other was -8.** and i also had astigmatism for both eyes...i think 1 was 3.** and the other was 1.**

I didnt care that my eyes may still be getting worst....at that point i was practically legally blind...

I did the ALL LASIK surgery...so no cutting...no openning...everything was computer generated. I felt very safe and secure and my vision aftwards was 20/10....but it's not 20/20...and i think it's because i didnt put the drops hourly like i was supposed to...i slacked a little :/

i can answer questions if you have any

I have a buddy that had it over a year ago and has loved every minute since he had it. I think it cost him a grand an eye, but his sight was that bad to begin with. He now has 20/20 vision.
