About 14 years ago I had Laser surgery(the russian Technique where the cornea is cut like a knife) on my left eye. A few years later I had the right eye done(using a different technique, cornea is molded). Today(aged 40) my right eye has completly regressed and I am required to wear glasses again. Is regression common in laser surgery and could it be due to other factors such as my age? There doesn’t seem to be much information on the web about people having to go back to glasses after they had laser surgery.

I would really like to have this done. I have worn glasses and contacts even since 4th grade but now that I’m 22, I’m contemplating laser eye surgery. However, I need to know how safe it is, what the success rate is, and if there is now an option to get it without cutting the cornea open (that just freaks me out). Advice?

I hear that you can’t FEEL it… but can you SEE it? I don’t know if I really want to be able to see them pull a flap off my eye back…
I mean as far as all the clamping and peeling of the cornea, etc. I watched it on a video on YouTube and gasped the whole time. EEE!

I am 49 years old and I have noticed that I cant focus reading a book. I belive it is called presbiopia. Am I eligible for LASIK laser eye surgery?
I found this answer from Google, "Laser Eye Facts". "The most common form of laser correction, LASIK surgery, is not effective in curing presbyopia because it deals with the eye’s cornea, whereas presbyopia affects the eye’s lens."

I was told LASIK surgery is impossible in my right eye. My astigmatism is 13.0, with vision around 20/800. My doctor says my cornea is much to thin to do this procedure. Also this eye is a lazy eye, but it has normal movement, it just doesn’t recieve signals from my brain. Has anyone heard of an eye this severe being corrected with LASIK?

Hello, last year I scratched my Cornea in the locker room at hockey. I’m still only 14 but when I turn 19 or 20 I want to get Lasik. Will that mess up the surgery? And i know its bad but sometimes i go like 5 days without taking my contacts out. lol. It doesn’t really hurt so I don’t care. Will that mess it up?

my left eye has almost perfect vision. my right eye, however, is half blind. (my doc said that if i ever lost my left eye i’d be considered legally blind, although i’d still be able to see a little).
anyway, my right eye has a pretty bad astigmatism. my cornea is healthy and i’d only have to get one eye done.
i’d have to wait 3 years anyway, though.
but i’m not sure what the other qualifications are for lasik, so do you think i qualify?
thanks!

I really want to wear my contacts up until the surgery or atleast up until a few days before the surgery. My doctor told me not to wear my contacts 2 weeks beofre the surgery because they change the shape of your cornea or generally your eye, not sure. Anyway, did anyone wear their contacts up until the surgery and was it a big deal or do you think I can get away with it?
