Hey,

Have any of you had this done and how was it? I know its abit costly, £500 or so per eye, but its worth it at the end of the day because you can see 20/20 vision again!

The only thing i dont like is that fact your awake while this process happens, and it hurts aparently?

Also i'm sure they dont know the Long term effects are, im 21 now and when im 60/70 is something going to happen to my eyes!?

what do you all think about it?
 
its not permanent and only lasts for a few years? your eyeball feels like its going to pop and the fact that ive seen videos of it beeing done would put me off.
 
Why not stick your head in your CD player and press play. If it hurts, it's not for you and you can just get contact lenses and save yourself £480.

Yes but i could be paying £400 a year for the next 50+ years by wearing contacts when you can pay £1000 or so for both eyes which last that long.

I'm just shocked at some people getting theres surgery done in the 90's!! i heard some guy had it in 1992!! the technology for that much have been rubbish back then.!!!
 
lol it does not hurt - you can just smell the burning :D
It does last a long time (if you are young - 20's or so) probably all the way up until in your 40's - 50's (when your eye starts to change shape).
It will basically bring your eyes up to as good as what you see with your glasses on!
highly recommended :)
 
I want to get this done in the next couple of years.

Your eyes will continue to age and so although it is not permanent. they start getting worse frrom the new point with age

Maybe in the next few years they can make it so it doesnt get worse when you get older, anything can happen with technology

Not going to happen. it gets worse because you age. Unless they can stop ageing. which aint going to happen in that time scale.

You are also looking up to £1500 an eye. It depends on your eyes, to which surgery you need.
 
I've had it done about three years ago on one eye (I had normal vision in one eye, the other was very shortsighted), and I now have perfect vision in the treated eye. There was no pain at all - I know the operation sounds very alarming but in practice it's not at all scary, the dentist is far worse in my opinion.
I went with Ultralase and had the wavefront op, not the cheapest option but I couldn't fault the way I was treated.

Hasn't it been going on for at least 20 years or so now, so they know the effects for about that long at least.

Hardly long term though is it.

I've spent £100 on glasses in the last four years, so it's not like I'm forking out tons anyway.
 
I was also considering this, made the mistake of watching a video and decided i dont like the idea of them slicing a layer of my eye ball off thanks.

Same here, except mine was a bit cheaper at £2K. Got it done last year. Money well spent, I hated wearing glasses because they got in the way of everything I did.

Lots of others on here have had it done and I know loads of people who have. Make sure your prescription is nice and stable and it'll all be fine :)
