After 8 years of wearing glasses and/or contacts, I am finally getting LASIK surgery done on my eyes! Ever since I started to wear glasses, LASIK has been on my mind. However, up to this point, I was not a candidate for the surgery because my prescription kept getting worse as I got older. To get the surgery, it is recommended that your prescription be stable. Well, I have finally reached that point.
I went in for a consultation last Thursday at TLC and am booked for the procedure on December 5. I’m extremely excited! Not having to wear glasses or contacts would be so liberating. It’s hard to explain what a life-changing operation this could be.
I was fortunate enough to watch my mom have the procedure done 10 years ago (they generally don’t allow people to watch anymore) and she is very happy she had it done. Others I talk to also say it was one of the best decisions they’ve made.
I know there are possible complications so I’m a little nervous, but my eyes are ideal cases for the procedure and there shouldn’t be any problems. If you’d like to learn more about how the procedure is done, you can check it out here –> Wikipedia–LASIK

I am thinking about getting it done also, but I don’t exactly know what are the conditions and what’s the maximum strength of glasses you must have in order to be eligible for it, can you tell me?
I would suggest doing some research or going for a consultation, but from what I know, Tiger Woods was a -11 and they did his eyes. On the other end (far-sighted), the place I went to stops at +3. For complication issues, take a look at lasikdisaster.com.
thanks for info
I use glasses and have always considered getting Lasik. It seems expensive though and I feel weary doing it.
I am also considering to try this. I have been reading a lot latly and im not totally sure yet. How did your surgery go or you havent done it yet?
