Lasik Eye Surgery
Lasik Eye Surgery
Sounds kind of scary at first, having this laser beam cutting away part of your cornea. What if something goes wrong and you go blind, it has happened. Other people have continuing problems or their eyesight isn’t as good after the surgery as it was before. Yikes! I don’t mean to sound like a pessimist, but it does happen. That’s one of those things they don’t tell you much about, or what is in tiny little print at the bottom of the lasik eye surgery brochure. And how about those discount eye surgery centers, two eyes for the price of one! How crazy is that? Oh yes, I’ll have the two for one special please. You might as well walk in and tell them they can do with you as they like, because that’s what they’re going to do. Lasik eye surgery centers like this, have one thing in common, herd them through like cattle (moooo), put them in the stall, and shoo them out as quick as you can. That’s quality you can trust!
Aside from these fly by night joints, there are some very reputable, skills eye surgeons that you can trust to not mess up your eyes. Be sure to do your research, some people are good candidates for Lasik eye surgery, and some are not. Depending on how bad your vision is in the first place, you may not be able to have it done at all. The eye doctor will evaluate your individual situation and determine into what category you fit, and if he gives you the green light, you can then discuss what type of surgery you want and the results you’re looking for. There is more than one type of procedure, one uses only a laser, and another uses a knife to cut the flap in the cornea. I opted for the first, and had great results. There is less healing time involved with the laser and it is much quicker. Of course, there are risks to any surgical procedure. Ask lots of questions, it’s your eyesight after all.
You’ll also find that prices vary from place to place, and depend on what type of Lasik eye surgery you opt to have. Some types are more precise and require a longer healing time, and they cost more too. I had the traditional Lasik eye surgery and now see better than 20/15 in both eyes. My husband, on the other hand, opted for the most expensive procedure, his eyesight not even as bad as mine, and did not get as good of a result. He still has halos at night when looking at lights or even at the stars. Everyone is different and so is every procedure; it’s only as good as the skills of the eye surgeon. Like I said, do your homework, and make sure you feel comfortable with your decision. If you want to take a chance on a discount eye surgeon, good luck. Many have gone before you and done okay, but I don’t think I would go that route. I’m kind of fond of my vision.
