"Has anyone here had laser eye surgery ? Glasses are so expensive and a pain to wear so I'm wondering about surgery. I am in contact with a clinic but obviously they will want to sell it to me so i am hoping for some info from people who have had it done. I wear varifocals and my left eye is especially bad. Thank you x" Morning, I have stuck with the spectacles and I am glad because corrective surgery would have shot my chances at the job I have now Anyway I know 2 people who have had the procedure and praise the results to high heaven and one of the two had similar problems as you describe and is now specs free and loving it | |||

"I haven't, but I have relatives and friends who have. For one it's been a complete fix, no regrets. For another it's been less successful - the vision deterioration just started again, so she now needs glasses again. I suspect I'd be in that category (although deterioration from 20/20 would be a different proposition from deterioration from 200/20 )" I haven’t either but friends who have had it have no regrets but it can deteriorate over time, as mentioned above. Age can also be a factor. I don’t have much advice except to probe for details about any concerns you have and to check the rate of deterioration. Balance that with whether you feel it is worth the bill. | |||

"I’m very interested in getting this done myself. I am sick of contacts and glasses do my big old head no favours. What worries me is having a small incision made in the eye that freaks me out for a number of reasons. Especially as I don’t like being closed in so worry I will panic a little. " Just think about it as staring into a light. You won't feel anything. If you can cope with an eye exam this is even easier! | |||

"There is a better option now where they permanently replace the lens and it lasts forever and cures things like astigmatisms. It’s expensive and insurance won’t cover it but then they wont cover laser surgery either, which is annoying as they will pay a grand a year for glasses which is much more expensive in the long run. I’m waiting 3-4 years till the price stops then getting it done abroad " I think this is what I'm more likely to go for, probably have to save for a while. | |||

"Working in the trade the cheaper deals are generally the older technique for it, it's the old addage you get what you pay for, the latest technology and best techniques will cost more money but worth it, and they can now correct for presbyopia (multifocal) whereas you used to have to go back and have it tweaked as you age (you may still have to dependant on prescription)" 12 years ago I had LASIK with intralase wavefront technology,had both eyes done same time , when I first enquired and was assessed for laser correction in 1992 I was unsuitable as they couldn't correct the high astigmatism then so had to wait for the technology to develop and in 2009 I had it done , long wait lol | |||
