Have you had it done? If so, would you recommend it?

I haven't but two good friends have. One loved it and hasn't looked back the other regrets it as her eyes were made worse. Eyes so dry after the surgery she now has to apply hourly drops and she had them done over 2 years ago!!

If your prescription is more than a six think very carefully. The chances of not having to wear glasses begins to drop massively (I know they'd be weaker glasses but if I'm paying a fortune I'd want to be glasses free). And if you're over 35 consider that age related degeneration may start to take things the other way soon so you'd have to start wearing them again.

Also, the higher the prescription the higher the cost. To get mine done would cost around six thousand and the guarantees of success are very low.

I had this advice from three separate opticians.

Ditto and I would still need glasses for reading

Exactly, its something for the under 35's. A friend of mine had laser and a lens implant. The implant to give reading sight when looking down. The implant in one eye, the laser in both. It worked, she's 50.

However they said it will need doing again at 55 and will have increasing risk each time .... A prescription over 6 is truly expensive

Both my eyes are 7s. The cost of the operation isnt an issue, its more the success rates that worry me. I have an astigmatism in one eye that always causes issues with new glasses. Ive been told that surgery could correct this.

Thanks for all the advice folks. Very helpful

It sounds like it might correct the astigmatism but you run a strong possibility of still wearing glasses. But they will be easier glasses to get.

So then you need to weigh up the risks.

if your normal optician does not offer laser surgery then go and have a chat with them - you want to speak to someone who will give an unbiased opinion.

I had mine zapped in India 10 tears ago by a brilliant surgeon who developed and taught the technique in hospital universities in UK . He invented tools for the procedures. He underpowered one eye to enable me to read without reading glasses, which can be a drawback, when correcting to 20/20 in both eyes. I still am in awe of this procedure and have never looked back. Still in perfect nick, never had a problem. I paid 70% less than I got quoted in this country.
