question about lasik surgery? please read and answer.?

Question

I have a very serious inquiry. I had lasik surgery about 4 months ago and haven't been happy with it once. I know there are different types, but i dont the know the exact name. something like intralase or something to that effect. it was the most expensive one/the best one. whatever that might be.
things i can't do anymore:
see at night
drive at night
see sports scores on my HI-DEF tv screen
see well


i have:
blurry vision
halos
"floaters"
spotty vision
pain
dry eyes

So today i went to a website that for lasik "horror" stories. there were literally thousands. i found out that there is an actual thing called "post lasik suicide" whereas peoples lives have gotten so bad that they can't even fathom living the rest of their lives this way. i can see their point. I can't imagine the thought that i did this "electively".

So what im wondering is this...if you've had it done.....what is your story? whether good or bad? elighten me. what did you do if you HAD a bad experience? i am very scared about this. I'm not sure what I'm going to do from here on out. i regret it so badly. I feel so dumb that i messed with my eyes JUST so i wouldnt have to take two mins each day putting in my contacts. wow. i feel it's all a scam. I really hope I get some answers here.

Answer 1

It is hard to tell if you are a whiner or have legitimate complaints. You should be going back to the LASIK center where you had your procedure done. You should tell them about what is not working. If you are not satisfied with their answers, you should get a second opinion.



I have had LASIK. Mine was a little over 14 years ago. In my situation I can see better at night if I wear glasses. I am very glad I had it done.



Both eyes are normally done the same time. Full recovery except for some dryness would be expected at 4 months. You need to have a diagnosis of what is wrong.

Answer 2

LAsik like any surgery is a risk with no guarantees. For some it is brilliant. for others the risk doesn't come off. I know 4 people who have had it. For 3 it has been wonderful - for the 4th a disaster. I looked at it but for my perscription at my age the risks weren't good and I decided I wasn't prepared to risk the worst possible outcome. Lasik isn't a scam - its an option with risks.

Answer 3

Sorry to hear this. The cornea doesn't take well to damage of any kind. From what I read, there's a six month recovery and both eyes should never be done at the same time. Even for cataract surgery, they only do one at a time and not the other until the first one recovers. If you continue to have problems, file a complaint with the FDA.

Answer 4

Studies show the lasik flap never heals, that means dry eye is permanent. all eyes are being damaged, this is a medical cover up.
