way off the cock, ball and need to please pussy bar chart.
i've been wearing glasses since i was in 3rd grade, when i was 21, and i just replaced yet another pair of glasses with prices that approach laser slices and or eyeball replacement even.
for what ever reason i believed the whack job and have never gone with the contacts. i wear bi-focals and am pretty much a mess. my sister had the laser eye slice done a couple years ago and is right back where she was but worse due to night time light blindness, star effect from lights.
in short . . .. just spent over $800 on special glasess and know laser per eye cost $1,500.
Your feelings on this.
As someone who had their eyes done in 2001, I can tell you that it is VERY IMPORTANT to research not only the doctor, but side effects, your own history, etc. In my case, everything went great and I have wonderful vision now. With no complications.
But with all of that said, I had one, if not the best, eye surgeon in the country do my eyes, and since my eyes are so important to me I didn't care if I had to pay more. (having great insurance at the time also helped) As your sister learned, side effets can occur. I was aware of Starring and actually had the problem with contacts. So they made the flap much larger than normal. This way the cut wasn't in the line of focus. Also if you have the surgery done from a well respected group like TLC they will do adjustments if needed. So in my case, if my eyes ever change they'll redo the eyes. But thankfully they've been stable and my regular doctor says it's highly unlikely I'll ever need adjustment.
As far as other side effects. I know of two people who had major problems. One was a lady I dated way back when who had a real cheapo dr do hers. She read a lot and didn't want reading glasses. Told the dr this and made it 1,000,000 percent clear. Well long story short, they really screwed up her close vision. Not a pretty site. Moral of the story, don't go to someone advertising cheap prices. And the flip side is someone I worked with who had complications with the flap not reattaching as her eyes wouldn't stay wet enough. Short version of the story is that she had an excellent dr who worked with her for several months. His ability prevented her from going blind. Moral, like mine you get what you pay for, and paying for the really good doctors isn't for their skill in zapping you, but their skill IF something goes wrong. Hopefully it won't but, if it does, having a great dr take care of your eyes is why you pay more for the insurance of not going blind or having bad side effects.
Anyway, find a good regular eye doctor who can check to see if you're a good candidate. If so they'll let you know. If not, then don't even think about having it done.
