Re: Laser Eye Surgery
 

I've had to have my eyes redone twice.

My eyes regressed after a year and it had to be redone and then redone again after there was some infection.

It was a nightmare but I still don't think I'd pass it up since there was no real pain other than repeated doctor visits.

And I'm in good shape now other than dry eyes that will probably never go away.

I've been told that it's best to wait until after age 25 or so before getting corrective laser eye surgery. Apparently, your eyes may not be completely finished growing until then, so your cornea may still readjust itself after the surgery if it's done early in life. Something to ask a doctor about, to be sure.

My eyes had stopped changing for over a year, and I guess it's ok after that. If the doctor said it's ok, I assumed it was.

It's been over three years and my eyes are still 20/20.

Anyone ever hear anything about internal contact lenses? My mom just got cataracts removed and while they were in there they put in a new lens. She loves it. I'm thinking about looking in to it for myself. This also does no damage to your eye like the lasers do, if it messes up I guess they can remove them.

That doesn't mean anything as optical mics are still LED's which DON'T GET HOT.

Those lenses still involve surgery, although you are correct that they are more reversible than the laser correction. As far as I know, they're not so great if you have astigmatism - it's hard to correct anything other than spherical error.

Take your contacts out at least for a day every 7 man!!!!!!
 

Dude I knew a guy who almost went fully blind from this. Bad news. Bad, Bad, Bad, news brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a friend of mine had it and it was a nightmare for him, although to be fair they did tell him he was high risk because of his eye shape (he's half asian if that matters).

also I know lots of people that say it's the best thing ever. I have a weird relationship with contacts, I can wear them indefinitely without ever taking them out and never even notice them, so there's no need for it for me yet. my current contacts have been in for at least a month.
