    Oops–hit “remove” instead of reply. I don’t remember being able to see the laser. They just have you stare at a target right in front of you for the whole thing.

    Can I see anything? I still see 20/20… I’m not sure what your mom means. Not every eye doctor can perform the surgery–you have to go to a laser eye clinic. Not every person can get the surgery. I was borderline… My eyesight and pupil size were factored in. Best bet is to find a reputable laser eye clinic and just go talk to them. They can tell you if you’re a good candidate for the surgery.

    It really didn’t. Eyes were numb through the whole thing.

    I think I was about 29 when I had mine done. You should definitely wait till your prescription evens out. From what I was told, it’s basically like starting over, so if your eyes get worse every year, they’ll still do that after the surgery. Wait till they stop getting worse, and then get it done. Definitely worth the money!!!

    How old were you when you got your Lasik eye surgery? My mom says I shouldn’t get it until around 21-ish. I have myopia and I hope lasik can fix it. I’m terribly blind w/o my glasses and I think life would be a lot easier w/o them.

    My vision kept getting worse every year until I was about 21 or so. Then it “leveled out” and stayed pretty much the same for years. Your best bet would be to talk to your eye doc, or a reputable LASIK center. They’ll tell you if you’re a good candidate for the surgery or not. I was borderline because my eyes were so bad. Find a good one though–don’t go cheap when it comes to your eyes. Not sure about the lazy eye… My dad got his fixed somehow, but it wasn’t with LASIK.

    1.) No, it didn’t hurt at all. A little discomfort and dry-eye for a few days following the surgery, but nothing major.
    2.) I drove 600 miles two days after my surgery. You could probably go to school the next day, but I’d take a day off just to rest up.
    5.) Yes, you’re awake. They numb your eyes though.
    4.) Wait till your prescription levels out. If your eyes keep getting worse each year you go to the eye doc, then wait till you have a year or so where they don’t get worse.

    i have like 3 or 4 questions:

    does it hurt?
    would you be able to go to school the next day?
    would you be awake while they’re doing the surgery?
    what age would you get the surgery?

    The way it was explained to me is that after the surgery, you’re back at ground zero as far as eyesight goes. So it’s possible that your eyesight will get worse with age, but it would’ve done that without the surgery as well. It’s like getting a fresh start. Since my prescription has stayed the same for the past 10 years, it’s likely that I’ll see this well for quite a long time. If I suddenly need glasses at age 60, I’ll still consider LASIK a good investment. :)

    I have the same thing ! 20/15 after the surgery. It’s scary but… for me it was worth it. !
