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!
Has anyone had lasik surgery done who can tell me if it is painful? I am thinking of having lasik eye surgery done to correct my stigmatism . I suffered a corneal abrasion in one of my eyes about a year ago and it was very painful for many days.I know when lasik surgery is done,the cornea is cut and lifted so I wonder if it is painful after is done.
I am no longer allowed to wear contact lenses because i got ulcerative keratitis (ulcers that form on your cornea caused by wearing lenses too long or not cleaning them properly) and for me wearing glasses isnt an option as i generally hate them although i need them. Because i have scarring on my right eye and i also have blepharitis will these mean that i wont be able to get laser eye surgery as ive been couting on getting it for ages now and soon il be old enough. Thanks.
I’m 14 and my dad’s telling me that wearing contacts will make the contacts scratch up the cornea or something and I won’t be able to get laser eye surgery because of that. Is this true? I’m really worried right now because I’m really hoping to get that surgery when I grow up.

This is the Science Friday (National Public Radio) video about LASIK eye surgery. The funny thing about this video is that the narrator, who is probably also the producer, is a lot more nervous about LASIK laser vision correction than the patient himself. He is cool as a cucumber, I had LASIK myself, didn’t think it was a big deal and now I see fantastic. The video features Steven Vale, MD, medical director of Acuity Laser Eye & Vision Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Dr. Vale is one of the most well-respected and experienced Lasik surgeons in the world. Dr. Vale has performed over 21000 laser vision correction surgeries. Dr. Vale’s ability and experience really comes out in this otherwise realistic and detailed glimpse at the world of laser vision correction surgery.
