Laser Eye Surgery Procedure at the maher private clinic

This was the vision correction procedure done on my eyes in 2003. PRK is different than Lasik in that a layer of the cornea is scraped away instead of flapped open. The flap procedure generates a significant increase in eye pressure, which my doctor felt was not justified.

I am 21 and my eyes have always been bad, but they have gotten more bothersome as I age. I keep hearing about laser eye correction surgery and I have read up on the procedure, but I wanted to get a few opinions and experiences. If you have had this procedure done, when and where did you get it done (ex. doctor’s office, lasik, etc)? How much did the procedure cost? What pros and cons do you have about the procedure?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Please respond only if you have had the procedure done in the last year. I want to know the current rate. Thanks and Holler!

so thanks in advance

Laser-eye surgery is one of the most incredible human advancements ever. Vision can be corrected in 5 minutes. That’s how long it took for my procedure, and it was painless, but it was precise. They do a lot of tests beforehand to gain parameters for the laser.

There was side effects afterwards, like I had to wear sunglasses outside, otherwise it would burn my eyes. Other precautions they advised me, some of them I just did on orders, but I learned that the advice they give on recovery is for a good reason: if you rub your eyes when you wake up, it will hurt. It won’t destroy your eye, but your eye will still be fragile. It’s been more than a year since I’ve had it, and I’ve grown so adjusted to the new freedom. No more glasses!

There are “possible” side effects after the procedure, some of them are extreme (including blindness), so when you sign you agree that one of those COULD happen, like once in a million chance. Any of you had positive experiences after surgery?

LASIK Evaluation – What Happens Before Your Eye Surgery?
By Tammi Marcelyn

LASIK is a procedure that can be done with the use of a laser to reshape the cornea of the eye and correct vision problems. For millions of people this made the dream of good vision become a reality and though the procedure has been done millions of times you need to approach yours as if it’s the first time and take the time to learn everything about the procedure, consider the cost and find a good LASIK doctor you can trust.

The actual LASIK procedure takes less than fifteen minutes and most patients see instant results with clearer vision and a better overall eye health. There are risks and complications to consider, but these only occur in about one to five percent of all procedures done. The quality of the eye surgeon you are working with can make the biggest difference in the experience you have and the results you get. Before you get started you will first need to have an extensive LASIK evaluation to make sure you qualify for the procedure.

A LASIK evaluation generally consists of an eye exam where the surgeon is able to identify the vision problems you have and look at the shape of your cornea to see if it can be corrected using the laser. You must be at least eighteen years old to make sure the eye has had a chance to mature and grow completely. You must have had no previous surgery on the eyes or infections within the past year. You cannot be nursing or pregnant, nor has dry eye syndrome or scarring on the cornea from a past injury. Essentially, the perfect candidate for LASIK surgery is someone with good overall eye health and a common vision problem.

When you are considering LASIK for your vision correction needs, you need to take the time to get a LASIK evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure. This is essential to the success of the procedure and your healing time after the procedure is over. You can get the vision you’ve always wanted in just a few minutes of your time with LASIK surgery.
