Lasik Eye Surgery

[brainiac]

Has anyone on AB had LASIK or any other kind of corrective eye surgery for short-sightedness? Thinking of having my eyes done, but very wary as there are many scare stories out there!

My eyesight was much worse than yours. You should take a look at RLE (link earlier). Doesn't hurt to look into it all the different options available and find the best one for you.

Yes, many people on AB have undergone LASIK or other corrective eye surgeries for myopia (short-sightedness). While there are stories of complications, it's essential to remember that LASIK is generally a safe and effective procedure with a high success rate. To minimize risks, choose a reputable surgeon, attend thorough pre-surgery consultations, and follow post-operative care instructions diligently. Discuss potential side effects and risks with your surgeon to make an informed decision. Many individuals who've had LASIK report significant improvements in their vision and quality of life, ultimately finding it a worthwhile choice.
