Dry eye may be one of the more common side effects, but every patient does not experience it. That is entirely false! I’ve had the surgery done on both of my eyes and have no problems whatsoever.

Remember, people who are not happy with their outcome are always going to speak louder than those who are.

My surgery was $2100 per eye. The best thing to do would be to schedule a consultation, they are free! There you will be able to speak with a doctor and have your eyes examined.
The surgery itself is completely painless. Afterwards my eyes burned really badly(as soon as the anesthetic began to wear off). I sure was thankful for the painkillers they gave me. The pain in my eyes lasted for about 6 hours and then I felt ok enough to open them and was not in too much discomfort except for the world being really bright! Full recovery, to where I didn’t have to wear eye shields to sleep and be so cautious, was about a week. They do say to wait a month for things like swimming, rubbing your eyes, etc. It’s kinda up to your own judgement.. I didn’t dare rub my eyes at all for about 2 months.
The risks have already been mentioned. I would say that you should treat this as something that you feel is important enough to have done, no matter what the outcome. I was ready to accept any and all side effects.. Too many people are probably doing this as a convenience; They already live perfectly happy lives with glasses or contacts.. and are not fully understanding the risks.

Good luck with your decision. now what

LASIK destroyed my life.

I will regret for life.
