What are the pros and cons of Lasik eye surgery ?
Vincent asked:
I want to improve they way I see dramatically . I’ve been wearing contacts for a very long time and my eyes are starting to suffer for it. Its just irritating to be poking my eyes day in and day out. I really want to do lasik and improve my vision without contacts or glasses. So if anybody out there can help me I would really appreciate it

I had lasik back in 2004. All I can say is this- IT IS AMAZING! I have better than 20/20 vision, and it is SO AWESOME to not have to wear glasses/contacts anymore! There is always “risk” in ANY surgery, but your chances of problems are quite low! Go for it! It’s a true miracle, in how the next day- you wake up and can SEE! TSS

DRY EYES is not an uncommon problem. My wife had it done and her eyes got so dry they ended up having to put little plugs in her tear ducts so her eyes would stay moist.
Before she had it done she had her glasses with her all the time so when someone would give her something to read, she would just read it. Now she runs around without glasses all the time and when someone gives her something to read she has to run around looking for her reading glasses. So she can see at a distance, great but she can not see up close, not so great.
Now it has been 8 years and she is talking about having it done again because as she aged her vision changed. Lasix is not a permanent fix.
Lastly, if you are even thinking about joining the service, don’t do it. They are kind of picky about it and if you get it done using the wrong method, you may be disqualified from service. USAFisnumber1
