I am going Friday to have my eye's checked to see if I can have lasik eye surgery. :eek  I was wondering if there was anyone that might have had this done and that can give me their opinion? Good or Bad. Also is it worth the $$$$$. :D

Injected is nice, But I'd rather be Blown

I had mine done 3 months ago. What a difference! I can see! I had astigmatism, so I chose to have a procedure called "monovision", meaning my eyes were corrected to 20/15 in both eyes, but my left eye was corrected for near sighted and my right eye was corrected for far sighted. At first it was like wearing bifocals, but my brain adapted an I got used to it. It was definitely worth the $$$ for me, and I'd do it all over again! I went to Dr. Charles Manger at the Saddleback Eye Center in Irvine, Ca., he is the master!

Thanks OBGYNKenobi for your input. I have been talking to other people and they have said the same thing that you said. I am just a little hasitant on someone working in my eye's. I have heard some bad and good things and the good out weighs the bad so far. :good

I'm hoping to have one eye done after the New Year. I'm scared to death about having my eye cut open.

Does it work for close-up reading problems? I can see distance just fine, but it's the small print - I just can't read close-up anymore.  :banghead

The procedure is so fast and painless. You feel pressure only as the machine presses down on the eye. You stare at a little orange dot as the laser fires, and in about 3 minutes it's done. Both eyes took about 5-6 minutes to complete.

Yes it does. It's really cool how it works. You sit and place your face/eyes against a scope that blinds you with light for a few seconds, and it actuallu maps you eye and tells them exactly what part of your eye is screwed up and whether you're near or far sighted or astigmatism. The do several painless, quick tests, then put a glasses like device on you showing you exactly how your vision will be after the Lasik procedure. I was 20/300 with astigmatism, but was corrected to 20/15 in both eyes.
For those who don't know what the 20/whatever actually means, it means that before I was corrected, I could see at 20 feet what someone else(who is 20/20) could see at 300 feet. I no longer wear glasses of any kind except for sun glasses. They can correct near sightedness, far sightedness, or astigmatism
