I would never do such a thing with something as precious as sight. It's too risky. I don't care how many studies or schooling is involved.

Just as I wouldn't voluntarily lengthen my penis, even if 99.99% of the people got it done and in the end had a much bigger dick. It's that 0.01% that ended up with only shriveled nuts leftover that make it a no-go.

There's a risk involved in everything surgical. There really isn't anything that's routine. The key is NEVER ever let price be a selection point. If you put a price on your health then you're just asking for trouble.

some of the articles that website links are pure and utter bullshit taking things way out of context. Tiger woods got Lasik. He got his ass beat by wife for having bunch of sluts around and crash suv. they launch into some garbage about how lasik surgery is behind it.

there's also a quote from Tiger on his "lost of vision" and claims it has something to do with lasik. Sports and vision have been used together since forever.

I had the surgery years ago. I'm happy with it. I have 20/20 vision now. I don't remember what I was but it was horrible. I do not have the starburst issue that is said to a side effect. or its not significant to me. My astigmatism is still present though. darn.

Got it done on the 5th of January. I had -4.75 and -5.25 vision before on right and left eye respectively. I don't know what that is in vision terms but it was bad. Couldn't see clearly more than a foot away from my face. Had it done and now i'm 20/15. Some things i noticed are that they don't stress enough how irritating it is for the few hours after the surgery. It irritates like a biatch. I highly recommend anybody to just find some way to fall asleep for 6-8 hours immediately after the surgery. I still ahve issues with the "halos" or blurriness around lights at night. But it's only been about 3 weeks and i'm hoping they'll go away in a month or two. My eyes also get occasional "bluriness" like i'm wearing a dirty pair of contacts but they're sporadic and not constant. I'm hoping this is another temporary side effect. Gonna see my doc next week for the 1 month appt. We'll see what he says. otherwise i LOVE it. I hate wearing contacts because i inevitably end up trashing or losing them one way or another and glasses suck cause I can't wear it for any activities.

I had it done in November of 2000. Still going strong with 20/20 vision. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
