Laser eye surgery. Have you had it? How much did it cost? Does it work? Hey. 5 years ago, i noticed i was having trouble reading the board in the classroom. Over the last few years, my eyes have got worse and worse, and while my glasses are fantastic, they were supposed to be temp and i now need to wear them all the time. Having them on and off is causing headaches, especially since i work at a comp desk, and i need to lean in really close to be able to even see the comp screen!

ANY info, this will be a huge thing for me as i'll need to save for it and it better be worth it! :o)

Mainly to save money, and the other reason is because I don't feel that I need it for the other eye. What do you think. Is this possible, can it be done?

Is laser eye surgery safe in the long run? Most people who have it done, notice that their eyesight still gradually deteriorates slowly. And scientists don't yet know if there are any long term side affects, as the surgery hasn't been around very long. It's difficult to know whether you would still have perfect vision when you are into your 60's. Has there been any scientific study, to suggest that laser eye surgery may not be as safe as everyone thinks it is?

How does one perform laser eye surgery? I've found all the tools necessary around the house and eager to try it out. I'm unsure if the patient has to be sedated, as I have seen the surgery performed on television and they were wide awake. To get the eye prepared for surgery I will first tap on the cornea with a small piece of a gumdrop (peppermint) attached to a nail file. After this though, I am pretty much lost and would love some help!
