Corrective eye surgery

[colr6]

Anyone has this procedure ? Wearing glasses are really doing my head in!! Just can't get on with them. Tbh don't even like wearing sunglasses. Thoughts/ risks/ recommendations.

Thought this might be a change of subject ie not car related

My Missus wore glasses from the time we were in school and then had Lasek surgery about 4 years ago. She now has perfect vision, but to be honest the couple of days after surgery for her was very uncomfortable.

As long as you're not a train driver or airline pilot. Don't think they're allowed to have this done. (there maybe other not allowed occupations too)

I had both my eyes done 12 years ago and it was the best money I have ever spent. I went for the basic package which was having the eye numbed then held open so the drops could dissolve the lens, then it was scraped away before being lasered and patched up, as opposed to being fully lasered without the need for dissolving and scraping. The smell of burning eye was a little unnerving though.

I have a few friends that have had it done, they were made up at the results.

Im having mine done soon, I had my glaucoma sorted a couple of years ago which involved lasering holes through both eyes to let fluid in and out, so just the cataracts and corrective vision to go! it will have to be private as you have to have very restricted vision to get it done through the NHS,

I did it two years ago.

 

However the days after the surgery were bad. Really bad.

Just don't watch final destination and you'll be fine......

Apparently though does it only last for around 10 years and then your eyes will correct themselves back to what they were?

I heard that too but it is BS, 12 years on my eyesight is still perfect. Obviously though as the eyes age they will give the same problems as with anyone else, not going to have perfect long and short eyesight at 95 years old, but it won't be because of the surgery.

Have you tried wearing boxing gloves in bed?     But still, you're doing OK for 95
