Has anyone had nu-lasik surgery?

I am thinking about getting nu-lasik surgery at northern laser vision centre in chatswood. has anyone had this? what was your experience. I am a little nervous about this, so would like some information from people that have actually had it or know someone who has.
Answer:
I've never heard of nu-lasiks so it must be pretty new. I know they are developing a microwave type of eye surgery to correct vision, but never heard of nu. A good rule of thumb is to wait a year or 2 before trying any new types of therapys like this. Dont be a ginuea pig :)

My uncle had it done he had glasses for years, he liked the fact that he doesn't wear glasses anymore, but he does have to put alot of eye drops in, he says his eyes get more dry than when he had his glasses. But in all he is glad he had the surgery.

A lot of people get LASIK eye surgery as it corrects their vision and improves their lives tremendously. The LASIK procedure corrects myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism so that you won't need to wear contact lenses or eyeglasses. LASIK is a method of reshaping the external surface of the eye (the cornea) to correct low, moderate and high degrees of near-sightedness, astigmatism and far-sightedness. A complete eye assessment is required to check the patient鈥檚 suitability for LASIK. Tests include refraction, contrast sensitivity, pupil size, pupil reaction, retinal examination, tonometry and pachymetry. Other specialised treatments under the Wavefront technology include the aberrometry, topolyzer measurements, topography and tests for dry eye among others.But since LASIK is an expensive procedure in the US, many people these days opt to travel overseas for their treatment. You can get your eye surgery/treatment done in India/Singapore/Thailand and even Mexico for much less than in the US. You end up saving 60-80% even after your travel expenses and hospital stay have been paid for.However, you need to be careful about the quality of hospitals there. You must make sure that they are JCI/JCAHO/ISO accredited, which means that the hospitals meet US standards and the service provided is world-class.One such medical tourism facilitator that works only with quality hospitals abroad is Healthbase (http://www.healthbase.com). You can research about the various medical procedures, communicate with the surgeons overseas, apply for medical loans, plan and book your travel all at their website.
