Vision Correction/Lasik surgery

Anybody had this done? I've worn eye glasses since I was 4 years old, and I'm sick of them. Plus I can't do contacts. Then there's the sunglasses problem -- I can't get the wrap-around kind... it goes on and on.

But I'm worried about the horror stories -- permanent double vision, dry eyes, blah, blah blah.

my brother in law had it done. now he is wondering why he waited. the only draw back he has is the price. alittle salty. get r done and good luck

Everyone I know who's had it done loves it. Make sure you get a deal though that includes lifetime enhancements.

A guy I played little league baseball with just ended up killing himself. His tale was in the local paper. He had lasik and it gave him double vision and he had bad halo effects around lights at night. He couldn't drive at night because the halo effects were too confusing. Docs couldn't do anything to correct it. He was getting constant headaches, he became depressed, and apparently decided to end it all.

I know the chances of this happening are very low, but man, I'll take my glasses and contacts any day of the week. I wouldn't go near it with a 10-foot pole. Not worth it to me at all. But that's just me.

Weigh the risk/reward for yourself. Very very large chance of everything working fine, with the benefit of being able to see without glasses. Very very small chance of your life being COMPLETELY RUINED.

I got it done a little over a month ago. I can probably answer most questions you might have. So far, it's been amazing. My eyes were also really bad to begin with.

Damn I guess he's really seeing halos now huh, at least for his sake I hope he is and not seeing rings of fire instead.

I've thought about it, but I really don't mind wearing contacts and glasses so it works for me.

I'm in the same boat. I like having the option to wear my glasses. Sometimes it's good to look smart.

My wife wants to get it done, but I'm a little hesitant. Our eye doctor has told both of us we would be good candidates for it, so it's just a matter of money. I know a few people who've gotten it done and love it.
