I am considering getting Lasik eye surgery and was wondering if anyone on here has had the operation. If you have had it or know someone who has I would love any input you have.
Look into Lasek. It's actually a more natural healing process for your eyes. To sum up:
Lasik - Cuts the cornea's leaves nerves exposed until operations completed, gives you a protective contact, but doesn't heal the nerve endings, will force you to use reading glasses later in life.
Lasek - They Dissolve the cornea through medical procedure, protective contacts, but the nerve endings heal over time and you have a higher chance of NOT needing reading glasses later on in life
Soruce: My uncle had the Lasek procedure done, and his doctor told him the differences, and in turn told me from my own curiosity (i'm planning to get it myself )
I believe Lasek and PRK have much longer recovery times than lasik though
They do, But granted the result down the road is much more of a natural healing process with less complications in the future for the patient.

If I wait until summer break I could deal with a longer healing time, I just dont know about going around for a long time unable to see well. Do you know if you can still use glasses to boost your vision until the eye heals or would it hinder the healing process.

I don't know off hand, but I would definitely ask a doc on that note, I never actually asked that one, so Im going to find out myself :v:
