Don't be afraid, it will change your life!

Of course there are risks involved, just as with everything else in life. Laser eye surgery has never resulted in anyone going blind. If there are complications they are usually small and easily treatable.

Congrats on making the move. I had Lasik 10 years ago. One of the best investments I ever made. Shouts out to LA Laser Eye Center.

its a bit like having sand in the eyes for now, have to apply drops. but that is supposed to go away after its healed

here in Brno/CZ

yes :winkwink:


there is one downside btw - since i am not the youngest anymore, i will now need reading glasses at some point.

but i rather wear those when i read or sit at the computer but be able to go outside, swim play football, drive etc without glasses after all those years

i've done it around 5 years ago.. still good ;)

Shit, 1000 EUR but I dont have balls to try it.

hey my friend, have you seen that xbiz awards juror thread? they are looking for you! :winkwink:

Laser eye surgery is not a good thing. You will see it when the night comes or you will be in dark places. Lens effect and blurred light is what you will see.

Also, it's not a good move to do such a surgery in Czech instead of Germany. Germany is worldwide leader in medicine. This is fact that they are a lot more expensive, but you pay for their great quality.
This is your health. This is your eyes. There is no room for saving money for such things.

Btw, I have -3.0 and -2.75. I am using contact lenses and it is great. You completely do not feel them in eyes and after few months you will even forget that you have eyes defects.

hey man - means you could finaly learn how to take some pics with camera right:1orglaugh?
ok just kidding - good move my friend :thumbsup

well I am not trying to fight for Czech experts but I think you got bit missleading informations - Czech experts are worldwide respected and for example in the field of heart or face transplantation they are the same top on the globe.

I'm inclined not to trust sites with 404s in their header, and with a brown background image. :mad:

Glad to hear it went well.. back in 1996 a crazy buddy of mine did the experimental (and free) laser eye surgery, we were all sure he'd go blind but everything worked out fine and still is fine :)

i have used lenses iin the past, i am not comfortable with them. especially not when i sit in front of the computer. also swimming with lenses sucks and i always had trouble when doing sports.

also it's already done, so theres no debating where it would have been better etc.

yeah, they just earn a lot less - especially the nurses etc.

thats why its cheaper here

the doc and one of the nurses spoke good english, no problems communicating

How long you used lenses? Or rather, how many different lenses you used before?
Before I found lenses which I use today, I tried about 6-7 different lenses from different producers.
In some lenses I had blurry vision, other was often sliding off my eyes, other was causing pain, etc, etc. Only after many tries I found ideal ones. They fit eye perfectly, I see perfectly clearly and I can even swim or dive in them. The key is just to find right ones for you.

But as you said, it's already done. I hope that everything will be okay :thumbsup
Enjoy discovering world once again, lol.

So tell us, can you now see stars at night ?? ? ?

so awesome
when you can display your new power please show us

im too scared to do that. You only have 1 pair of eyes, and what if you are 1 in the million that goes wrong? Don't think i'll ever do it. I got hard contacts, buy them once and they stay good. 1 is 5 years old & one is 2 years old (those were the last times that one broke or got lost)

man, you have no idea how awesome it is to go out the door and look at the world with no artifical help :pimp

damn, I cant see shit, but a red X do I need surgery ?:helpme

Happy new eyes Stefan :thumbsup:thumbsup

Grats man

This is bullshit. Only a very small fraction of the people have a slight halo effect in the dark, and for most of them it's not bothersome and still worth it to have 20/20 vision without having to ever wear glasses or contacts again.

It doesn't matter where you get the surgery, the equipment is the same everywhere and the doctors are always skilled and trained professionals for the procedure. I did mine in a third world country.

People should not be afraid for this. There is so much false and wrong information about laser eye surgery. You have more chance of being hit by a car when you cross the street than becoming blind or have severe complications from laser eye surgery.

I know at least 10 people personally that did it and for every single one of them it was one of their best choices in their life, and everyone wish they did it sooner. There are tons of people here on the board that did it, and everyone is super happy with it.

Hope it works out well for you, please update this thread when fully healed if you think of it.

Best thing I ever did.
Protect your eyes for a couple of weeks. Use the drops even if you think you do not need them.
I had slightly dryer eyes for about 6 months. Not use to not having contacts in to keep wind off of them... So yeah LOVE IT

a little update after routine check today and one night and 2 naps:

some minor discomfort left in one eye - but almost completely gone. the other eye is already fine.

using antibiotic eye drops every 4 hours for the next 6 days and artifical tears every 2 hours or so.

watching TV is fine, going outside and looking around is breathtaking

and even reading my computer screen is almost good, they said it takes a bit for the eyes and brain to adapt to the new situation

i would do it again anytime

Does that mean you can see clearly how ugly I am?

beauty lies in the eye of the beholder :winkwink:

Haha, yeah. Like I said: enjoy discovering world once again :pimp
I was never using glasses outside home. When I got my lenses, WOW! Seeing this whole world so sharp was amazing. I even discovered that there is a river near a way I was driving by bus :1orglaugh

The same is when you are using glasses/lenses for a first time. Before everything was blurry and now you have clear vision, brain must adapt to this.
I got my first glasses when I had -2.75 and -2.5. I had headaches at first day when I was using them, but it is passing with time. :thumbsup

i hope you were not driving cars like that :helpme



update after one more night: no feelings of discomfort anymore

:)

Haha, I never was driving cars, but one time I was driving a tractor... smashed a tree near my brother's house :1orglaugh

I need one too, going with glasses until I will decide to go for it.

Good for you bro.

Just to let you know, not everyone can use contacts. I tried it all my life, and it jus't never worked for me, i can't touch my eyes :)
And i know a lot of people with the same problem.
