Laser Surgery Eyes

Posts Tagged ‘eyesight’

my eyesight is quite bad and was thinking about getting laser eye surgery. However it is quite expensive and i am worried about the risks of it.

I am only 18, is it too soon?
Which treatment is the best to have?

Is there a specific age the patient has to be, and how bad does their eyesight have to be to not be eligibile for surgery? Mine is -4.75 and -4.25

I’m 25 yrs. old, & I’ve been wearing glasses all my life. Even though I had to wear bifocals when I was in elementary school, I was still able to read without my glasses. When I was 5, I had eye surgery. Laser surgery to correct my eye muscles. I was SEVERELY cross-eyed.

As a teen, an optometrist told me that I have high astigmatism in my eyes, but I was still able to read without my glasses.

2 yrs. ago, a doctor told me that the retina in my eyes are larger than normal, & that I’m @ risk for glaucoma, & that they need to monitor my eyes closely. Now, I struggle even WITH my glasses to see. That Dr. told me that I could lose my vision any day, without warning, if glaucoma is untreated. There was a lady who told me that 1 of my eyes are still crossed, but she said the surgery would be cosmetic & probably wouldn’t improve my vision. My eyes would just “look” straight.

My vision is not blurry, but even with these glasses (I can only get a new prescription every 2 yrs. for glasses under Medicaid, & I had them for over a year. I used to see very well with them, but my vision is vanishing.) Even with these glasses, my eyes just feel weak, & I still have to squint.

My Daughter is 12 and wears glasses which she hates. We got her contact lenses but due to how bad her eyesight is she can only get yearly ones because of the strength of them. She has seen adverts on the television about Eye Laser Surgery but I am sure there is an age limit to when it can be performed does anyone know.

what has your experience with laser eye surgery been like?

how do you know what place you should take your eyes to?

how much did your surgery cost?

did you feel any pain?

what was the recovery process like?

how is your eyesight now after having surgery?

do you feel it was worth it, and would you recommend laser eye surgery to anyone else?
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!

I don’t see very well at night and there is a halo around lights. I also have a problem with a foggy blob that gets in my line of vision sometimes. My glasses also seem to be the wrong prescription too.

I am 31 years old and my eyesight is -6.50. Should I consider the treatment. I am very confused.

A couple who decided that they are both going to trust their future vision to Accuvision. The woman was so impressed with the results for her partner she decided to trust Accuvision with her own eyesight.
