Corrective Laser Eye Surgery Info: Costs, Benefits and Risks
If you’re looking for corrective laser eye surgery info, then you have come to the right place.
Our mission is to explore this topic, and cover every angle, from the expert “pro” Lasik viewpoint to the skeptical, “anti” laser eye surgery side of the argument.
But first, a word about the Why.
Why Write About Laser Eye Surgery Procedures?
We began this website to reveal the truth about Lasik laser eye surgery. My mother underwent surgery at the age of 60, and her experience made me want to find out more about this controversial way of correcting your vision.
Most notably, I wanted to discover whether my mother, who is a notorious hypochondriac, was exaggerating her symptoms. She suffers the common side effect of “halos” in her night vision, and complains about shooting pains at times, blurred vision and other problems.
To put this into context, she complains about every part of her body to a greater or lesser extent. My mother is a special case. She could convince any doctor to refer her to a specialist, and any specialist to refer her to a surgeon.
She’s had a hysterectomy for suspected cancer, toe reconstruction surgery because she didn’t like her deformed toes (followed years of agony later by another operation to remove the pins the first surgeon left in there), a tummy tuck because carrying twins to full term (8lb twins) left her tummy looking like a Shar Pei dog, numerous surgeries on her abdomen for various ailments, operations to repair a broken cheekbone after a fall, AND were all these not bad enough, an elective facelift. I gave her a lot of grief about that last one.
But enough about mum. How about YOUR eyes? Why would you think about going under the laser?
Benefits of Laser Eye Surgery
If you’re tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, then you should consider laser eye surgery as a way of finally giving up the cleaning fluid and polishing cloth. But it’s quite a scary proposition. Can we reassure you? Is mum’s experience typical, or a sad reflection of her personal battle with the mental side of health and wellness?
Corrective Laser Eye Surgery Info: Costs, Benefits and Risks
Fortunately for the fast-growing practice of Lasik vision correction procedures, mum’s side-effects seem fairly uncommon, especially in the combination she describes them. We spoke to dozens of patients to get their own version of events, both during and after surgery.
We found plenty of people who were willing to share their real-life experiences of life after Lasik surgery. We worked hard to find pros and cons, people on both sides of the fence, to build a more balanced view of the topic. You’ll find their stories on our site. We also did lots of research into the cost of surgery, the benefits and the risks.
You’ll find videos of patients actually having their surgery (not for the faint-hearted), and video testimony of what their eyesight was like afterwards.
