Had laser eye surgery?

Good or bad experience?

Would you get it done?

I know people who've had it done. Personally I wouldn't. I've worn glasses since I was 11 and it would be nice to see in the shower but if it goes wrong your sight could be worse. They also have no idea what the long term impact could be

Yeah i always wanted it done but my brother got it this morning and he's crying his eyes out with the pain It's put me right off

I know loads of people who've had it and they say it's the best thing they ever did!

I'd get it done in one eye cos one of mine is worse than the other and if it went tits up at least it was the bad one!!

but I'll probably never get it done, I'll just keep squinting!

my oh had it done. within 3 hours his eyesight was better than what it was.
he says the experience wasnt that pleasant but worth it. that was nearly two years ago and he has had no problems and eyesight is still perfect

He got the lasik which takes 6 minutes apparently its the more painful one? Cheapskate i tell ya!

I used to work for an opticians and we would people that had just had it donr come for post op checkups and had a lot of positive outcomes from it. They usually do one eye first then the other just in case. X

If I had the funds I would do it. My mate had it done and is so pleased with it x

I have to say it was one of the best things I've ever spent money on...I wore glasses for years then lenses...in the end I got it done...within bout 2hrs I could see teletext from my seatee amazing

That was 2yrs ago n my sight is still just as good...I think it's with tho paying the extra for the wavefront lasek cos there's no blades so recovery time n pain is significantly reduced...the procedure wasn't painful as such just a little uncomfortable but only took 15mins for both eyes...

Would definitely recommend it!

I had it done 4.5 years ago now, and i would definitely recommend it. Not sure i would like to go through the procedure again though! Recovery was fine, but my eye socket on one of my eyes must be a different shape as that eye hurt a lot more when done. I take my eyesight for granted now, i forget that i had to ever wear lenses or glasses.

I was lucky that my Dad paid for me to have it done and our optician recommended a clinic on Harley Street, so it was fantastic care. I would be dubious about using a chain off the high street as i have heard a few horror stories.
