Since most of us spend HOURS a day staring at screens, our eyes are gradually turning to crap. Personally, I spend about $300 a year on contacts and I buy a new pair of glasses every few years.
This is why LASIK eye surgery is becoming more popular - you pay a (hopefully) certified optometrist a bunch of money (usually between 1 and 2 thousand dollars per eye) and your eyes are cured! Essentially, you're investing in your future, right?
However, there have been complaints - some complain of tunnel vision, headaches, and other persistent annoyances. Thankfully, a new Lasik surgery has been created.
New LASIK is more advanced - often, you require an ophthalmologist, who uses "wavefront-guided LASIK" to form an optically perfect eye. Some ophthalmologists promise super vision - greater than 20/20. This usually isn't true, but wavefront-guided LASIK certainly has better results than regular LASIK has had in the past.
For those who freak out during surgery, LASIK would be an uncomfortable experience. The patient is awake for the procedure, although they are sometimes given sedatives like Valium and, obviously, a local anesthetic is applied to the region. Your eye is held in place and the doctor slices a flap in your cornea, giving access to the parts underneath, which are then modified by lasers. I got goosebumps just writing that.
Anyways, LASIK is something I'd be willing to try in the future...hesitantly. It's worth looking into.

My doc friend actually performs this surgery on a daily basis. Ewwwww. BTW...if you're interested I'd love to invite you to join my blog community @ bloggerdise.com.
love that second picture, made me literally lol
You got goosebumps writing it, I got goosebumps reading it... Yeah, I think I better stick with my glasses. They make me all Einstein sexy anyway...
Thanks for the info. Probably my eyes will become crappy soon lol
I've been hearing about it a lot lately, and I agree, I'd definitely want to do it.
EYE would kill for lazer functioning vision ahaha :)
Yeah I have been wanting Lasik for a while. When I get insurance this is going to happen!
Thinking about having someone else to perform LASER SURGERY on my eye.. no thx. I know how shaky I get myself kekekeke.

I hope my eyes never get to the point where I have to think about getting something like this. Even the thought of having to put in contacts makes me cringe.
reminds me of dead space 2
It remind me of the clockwork orange, so NO THANKS!!
I'm kind of on the fence about this. I would like not having to pay for glasses for the rest of my life, and the convenience of not being blind, but then again, I'm more or less at one with my glasses.
The thought of Lasik always just freaks me out.
I'll stick with contacts. i've been skeptical of Lasik since day one.
Ugh recently my eyes turned to crap too I considered LASIK but my parents warned me about its risks
Good to hear theres better and a safer LASIK is around. I'll consider it in the future.
Btw 20/20 or 6/6?
My contacts are not that expensive so I think I'll hold off on the lasers for a while
I'm thinking about getting lasik this summer. I'm fed up with glasses and contacts.
thanks god my eyes are still in good condition
dude my dad insists I get one of these. I really don't see any problem with using glasses though...
I need to get new glasses, but I've always wondered about lasik.
I'm horribly afraid of the whole eyeslicing thing though D:
the picture gave me a wrong idea of what this was about hahaha, but i might need something like this soon
