Hi, I have a consultation tomorrow to potentially get laser eye surgery.

I've done a fair bit of reading up on it ahead of the meeting, and I expect to go with the LASEK treatment. I'm short sighted and have needed glasses (driving, watching RL etc) for around 4 years, and struggle to focus on things from around 20 yards away.

I was just wondering what other peoples experiences with laser eye surgery were?

Let us know how it goes mate, I have always wanted it but never dared go through with it. What strength are your glasses? I'm about -4.0 so I'm quite badly short sighted.

You have to get up early to beat the Airlie Birds!:



If you can afford it then i'd say go for it! Had mine done last Feb with optical express and its been fantastic. No more messing with contacts or having to remember my glasses everywhere I go.

My eyes were -1.75 in both and cost £711 for both eyes to be done! The worse your eyes are the more expensive it becomes i was told. The adverts say from £395 per eye, and luckily I was able to have it at that price, and they gave me a 10% discount as well! You can pay thousands if you want to, but for me the one I had done has been more than adequate. From what I was paying in contact lenses, it will have paid for iteslf in 3 years.

I had the LASEk procedure, and you'll need 3/4 days off work afterwards, but after that you should be alright. The surgery itself took 15 mins at the most! I get dry eyes sometimes in a morning but apart from that i've had no problems.

Our kid, who is working and living in the Czech Republic had his done before Xmas. Told me the price was half of what he'd been quoted here. He's overjoyed with the results. Like living in a different world he reckons.

Sounds good. But does the proceedure itself not resemble something out of the Saw films? How does one let someone laser their eye without twitching, squirming and closing said eye? Are you put to sleep? Is the eye ball clamped in position?

I guess I'll find out for definate tomorrow icon_biggrin.gif . I'm pretty sure that you are awake during the procedure as the laser has to track the very small movements your eye makes.

Thanks to the advice given above, I'll come back on tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

I've gone for the LASEK option as it's meant to be better for those who play contact sports (I still attempt to play RL).

I've got no chance with this although I have considered it.

-8.5 and -9.25, so I rely on the bottom of the milk bottle and bent coathanger look.

The Clockwork Orange style eyeopeners put me off a bit too

Do they still make you sign a legal document that if your eye's were to fall out in 10 years time due to the procedure, they can't be held responsible? Maybe a little over the top description of an adverse reaction from the op by myself, but you get my drift.

A friend had his done what must be nearly a decade ago, and I'm sure he told me had to sign something along the above lines. Then again at that time I suppose it was quite a new and to a certain extent, untested procedure. I'm glad to say his eye's haven't fallen out, well not yet anyway.

Best of luck with the op. NO one likes going under the knife, or in your case, frickin laser beam!

When booking the consultation, they said that they (Ultralase) provide a lifetime guarantee - so should any problems occur down the line, they will correct them free of charge.

I'll be sure to read the small print on the contract.

Quite what they could do if my eyes fell out I don't know icon_surprised.gif

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg

Put a contract out on you. It'd be cheaper than settling a claim

It would be pointless for me, since my eyes are over -10 or whatever the measurement is.

However, a colleague had it done last year – he had a pretty unpleasant time of it. Certainly wasn't trouble-free.
