Anyone here want to share their experience on LASIK eye surgery? Someone here must have gotten them done.

It is about Cdn 800 per eye here in Taiwan. I think even people with 20/20 vision have trouble driving at night. I believe LASIK corrects nearsightedness (myopia), but not astigmatism. Therefore, wearing those driving glasses at night should help significantly.

I have been putting it off for 3 years. Seen many people got them done but still haven't done so myself.

i use glasses bc i cant see far away, im blind,lmao. its annoying when im playing golf in the sun. i wanna wear sun glasses, but when i put them on and take my glasses off, i have trouble seeing the ball when it gets about 100 yards away, maybe farther. so i wanna get contacts or this done. right now contacts is obviously the cheaper choice. but i have to wait till about february/march

I wear daily disposables when I play golf. Throw them away after the 19th hole.

ic. i dont wear my glasses when i play hockey. i can still see, but id prefer seeing a lot better.laser eye surgery or contacts would help a lot.

Does anyone know what the fallback rate to glasses is? I would hate to have the surgery and have to go back to glasses or contacts in 5 years.

And I think that my Dr told me, the new LASIK procedure can correct astigmatism, but I can't remember if he said all or some.

If memory serves..a member here, Slicktry, had it done about a year ago. You might PM him and ask about his experience. I know he debated long and hard about getting it done and was very satisfied with the results.

I had it done 6 years ago. I went from 1050 nearsighted to 275 nearsighted in my right eye. I could've had "touch ups" done to get it lower but it was scary when the doctor flips the retina over to use the laser. You are actually blind at that point.....I was like what if either one of us sneeze? I'm happy right now. I still wear glasses everyday. I used to wear contacts from when I woke up to just before sleeping. I wear contacts now just for sports activities including golf. Now I don't have to wear contacts through out the day I can now use normal glasses throughout the day instead of contacts or 1/2" glasses. Only one eye because I have a "lazy"/legally blind left eye that was complicated by a detached retina. That has a lot of complications for my game.

1. Depth preception especially short shots and while putting.

2. Keep wanting to "peek" from my good eye, makes me want to come out of a shot.

3. Alignment problems all the time. I keep aiming right on full shots and keep pushing short putts.

But I love this game.

Yo, I'll chime in...

I was -7.3 before the surgery, now I am 20/8. I have no loss of nightvision and actually think my eyes might be stronger due to the less straining. One of the best decisions I have ever made. I had the "wavefront" lasik. Recovery in about 2-3 days, total healing is 3-5 weeks.

If you have any questions, PM me...

God Bless
