Is Laser Eye Surgery For Me? If So What Would Be The Results? Is It Risky?
I am seventeen and have about 20/400 nearsighted vision. I also have astigmatism. My corrected vision is about 20/60.

Hi,
I had Lasik 3 weeks ago and love my newly restored vision. You can find out if you are a good candidate easily. Most Lasik clinics offer free extensive examinations and will tell you what type of surgery would work for you and how much it will cost. I went to 3 clinics before deciding. I am 52 and suffered from farsightedness and deteriorating distance vision too (nearsightedness). I had monovision surgery so I don't need reading glasses (amen). The distance vision isn't as clear as I had hoped. I am experiencing some glare and blurring but test out as 20/20. It is still early yet and the Dr. Thinks it will heal nicely and I will see quite well. My son had Lasik to correct nearsightedness 2 days ago and he is already seeing 20/15 with no glares or halos even in the dark. Perfect vision restored! Go for it!

I had Lasik in 2000 and I was happy with it too. The "halos" they say could be a side effect, never happened. I am glad to hear no halos for your family. Although I am losing the effect of my vision correction. I'll be getting glasses until I reconsider getting Lasik again. Please drop me a line whether the guarantee says 'how long' the procedure is suppose to last.
