Hi Lefty,





I had an urge to post on this topic so let me share my experience!



I had this particular Lasik procedure done 1 year and 9 months ago, how time flies when you have near perfect vision hagi!





I only opted to have this operation because my vision was rubbish..was
sick of glasses and lenses that irritated my eyes everyday.  So after
that, my vision was absolutely perfect, better than 20/20 the optician
said, hehe, it was the best feeling ever! So now compared to that time,
i believe my vision power is still good but has decreased ever so
slightly, estimatedly about 18/20 at the worst.  I can still walk
around and recognise faces, lol, can drive, night vision is not as
brilliant as day vision and things get teeny weeny bit blurry trying to
focus on something from a long distance. I am still satisfied.



I'm glad i got it done as quality of life has improved greatly over
past 21 months, lets just see how long it holds out til, as they say
some peoples corrected vision does fade but that is dependent on each
individual, no one can predict that.



If you do decide to go through with this, i suggest u have it done by a
reputable, well known established company no matter what the cost, cost
depends on your prescription, if its really bad then it will be more
expensive.



Also, first book a check up and consultation before you build up all
hopes and decide to go for it, not everyone is eligible for the
operation as your retinas have to be thick enough to get the green
light! Thankfully my retinas were superb, but on that day i went for
that afternoon check up they had already turned away 2 people for not
fulfilling that criteria! Poor them.



Hope that helped...again just remember the experience and results are
different for everybody....personally, if my vision again deteriorates maybe even in a few years, i will have the surgery again. I wish you well on whatever decision you take!





Good Luck!
