Yes you should be very strict when following the doctor’s advice because you do not want anything to go wrong. Most people go back to work right away, but since they told me about wearing the goggles and putting in the eyedrops all the time I decided to do my surgery when I had a few days off. That way I could wear my goggles all day long and not have to worry about interrupting my work to put in the eye drops.

Again, thanks for sharing. I think just in case I decided to have the procedure, I should be very very strict in following the doctor’s advice for a faster healing process.

Hi Bernmee:
If you read on to the last article in my LASIK series you will see that I am not having any complications. I no longer deal with the dry eye and don’t have the foreign object problem.

My vision is great and I am happy I had the surgery.

Before getting the sugery you need to understand the risks involved.

Those nerves that they cut may not grow back as they were before.

The dry eye that may occur, may be with you for life.

Those feeelings of burning, foreign object, itching, they may not just be post op. but for the resst of your life.

This is not a rick free surgery. It is estimated between 1-5 % of patients are not happy with the outcome, but surgeons are not required to report or record these instances.

I paid $3,000 for one eye….so did not go for the discount option.

Look at http://www.dryeyezone.com for the true meaning and suffering involved in dry eye.

Yes it makes a HUGE difference. I am seeing the way I used to see before I had to wear glasses and contacts.

It saves time in the morning and at night because I do not have to clean my lenses and store them.

I also save space when packing because if I have to spend the night away from home I do not have to think about taking glasses, contact case, contact cleaner and lens moisturizers with me.

I can go out in the rain and not worry about glasses fogging up.

I can go swimming without worrying that my lens will pop out.

I do not know of any insurance that covers it…but then I have not looked into that.

I looked at it as an investment in my eyes so I was willing to pay the price regardless of the insurance.

You are brave. I’m practically blind (ok severely nearsighted) and one of the reasons I’ve not ventured down the lasik path is because my insurance won’t cover it. Are there any that do? If there’s a carrier that is selling a policy that covers it I may consider switching…
