Has any of us had laser eye surgery??

I would love it done, but i don't know anyone thats had it done,what are the risks and how much would it cost?
Answer:
It's risky. Make sure you do plenty of research before embarking on this. You have a very minor inconvenience - wearring glasses. Is it really worth risking blindness? This BBC article will start you off -

i've considered this for a while.. supposedly about 拢300 per eye.. as legend has it loli shudda got it wen i was still on the NHS =(

If you have insurance it should not cost you may be just your co-payment which should not be more than you can manage, i haven't had it done thank God but i have seen and work with people who had it and they say it was just so easy no problem and was back at work in 4-5 days, but if you are scared please speak with your optician.

Cost shouldn't cause concern, what matters is that you gain better vision. As with any "op" there's always a risk.. though they will tell you its about 1 in 1000 or something similar. You dont specify why you are thinking of having Laser treatment but my mum regained her vision earlier this year after undergoing cataract removal. During the op she moved slightly which resulted in a tear to her new lense, so she had to have a stitch in her eye temporarily. The stitch was later removed by laser.
We all knew the risks, we were well informed and my mum is a real worrier when it comes to hospitals and such. But the very next morning her sight had returned and after three months of total blindness she could see. "Hello Joe" she said when I eventually got up that morning. of course I wept, with joy. It was well worth all the check-ups and procedures. The actual op took a mere 18 minutes...!!So. (sorry for rambling) if you need the treatment, go for it... I'm sure everything will be fine.

I had it done in 2000. I love it! After wearing glasses for 40 years, now my distance vision is 20/20 (or a wee bit better).Two problems, hwoever:Now I need reading glasses. I can read but +2.00 nonpresription glasses help alot. And they cost $5. For younger folks, this is not so much a problem, however.At night, lights have a shimmering. From what I understand, this problem has been pretty much eliminated with newer techniques.But even with these two minor problems, I'd do it again. There seems to be lots of urban myths about people going blind or someone has a friend who has a friend...Talk to your opthamolgist and get the facts.It cost me about $1500.
