What It's Like To Get Laser Eye Surgery
How does youtube recommendation knows that I wear glasses?
Because yt knows that how much yt you watch all day
spooky xd
Someone is spying on us
same
Wearing glasses is super common nowadays.
People who have perfect eyesight don't know the pain of going to see a 3-D movie at the theatres when you have glasses
THISS OH MY GOD, I USED TO DOUBLE MY 3-D GLASSES ON TOP OF MY NORMAL GLASSES IT SUCKED
I can very much relate to this
Yes I can relate to it
Makes me feel kinda lucky to have such good eyes
ohhh yays
Is anyone jealous of people who have perfect eyesight😭
I dont care about my astigmatism nor my nearsighted self, i just want clear skin :(
Why r u jealous? At least glasses make you look smart.
@@algovoice Yes it does make make us look smart but you don't know how hard is it to take care of glasses especially for me because I am a careless dumbo and my glasses always falls down when I am leaning over and so I will always need to take it off when I am leaning etc.. And without glasses you are more likely to see blurry things and that will be hard because you can't recognize people face and you can't clearly see the writings without getting close..
Ya me
algovoice yeah and especially if u have a -6 eyesight
She did a great job explaining what she went through, good for her!!
Lol bot
Dude you are a legendary bloke!
howdy
Hello Xavier
I saw te comment this bot copied it was 6 month ago💀
“It felt like someone shaved my eyes” alright imma head out 🏃🏻♀️
Yeah she said that and I was like aww hail nah
smh, it wouldnt have if you take ur medications properly, and in the long run, its worth it
if i get eye surgery its gonna be either prk or contoura both have lesser dryness problem
it is! but it wasnt painful lol idk how to describe it. but yeah it feels as if someone scratches something off your pupil
Suddenly wearing glasses doesn't feel that bad
“It felt like someone shaved my eyes”
yes. Because they did
Lol
lol
lol
Lol
lol
y’all my teacher had to wear those glasses and everyone called her Harley Davidson for a week 💀
💀 💀 💀 💀
NOT HARLEY DAVIDSON PLSSS- 💀😭
Harley Davidson?... I'm old cause I think Terminator
Lmao but F
that’s so meann
I know a ton of people are scared to get this surgery, but this was the easiest surgery I've ever had done. It was finished in 5 minutes, I saw a red light and felt absolutely nothing. 10/10 I recommend it to everyone who needs it.
flap lasik or prk ?
@Sahil Inamdar I just had lasik yesterday and it wasn't painful. Worst part was keeping eyes closed for 12 hours
I thought they cut the layer of your eye as well before the laser beam😢
Is there any age limits or can anyone do this surgery?
Wow people pay £6000 for 5 minutes of someone's time
Trust me, YOU DO NOT WANT TO "SEE" 2020. Stay in 2019.
Heh yea
Yeah. You can say that again
Hell yeah
20/19 is a better eyesight
I’m in Ethiopia and it’s 2013
Who else felt HELLA uncomfortable while the doctor was touching her eyes and stuff
When you wear contacts it really doesn't seem that bad
me
I wear contacts but it made me lightheaded lol
No shit Sherlock
I felt uncomfortable the whole video.
"I was stuck in my room all day, not being able to do much"
That sounds familiar 😐
lol yes it does!!! hey! is it just me or does everyone smell 2020 in here? hahaha

I had lasik eye surgery last July at age 19 and I could see perfectly the next morning. I honestly didn’t feel anything during the procedure. It’s the best thing I’ve ever paid for.
2000 years ago, the God that loves you pu His Son on a Cross to save you from HELL. you see, something named sin is the need for a place called HELL. sin is anything wrong that we do against a Holy God. Everything wrong like lying, (have you ever lied before), stealing, blaspheming God name (aka OMG, saying It without regard of God's Holiness. Have you ever cheated on something before? Hatred, Malice, Envy. Have you ever hated someone before? Have you ever hated someone before? Have you ever envied someone before? This is death. Sin. Going before the throne of a Holy God on Judgement Day ay the end of our lives, we will be judged for all the sin we have committed. If there is any sin the person will be sent to HELL. now this is The Good News: Jesus Christ died in your place, in the place of sinners. Now if you will believe on Him, and turn from your sin, you will be saved. Repent quickly. Do not decieve yourself that He is not coming back.

How much it cost for lasik eye surgery
Cost please
15 minutes, it's crazy that that's all it takes for having perfect vision for the rest of your life
Diego Maradonna what ones are those?
And a few thousand dollars
David Jackson but don’t forgot you have to wait a month and you well be in pain from it for a day or two most likely
David Jackson or go blind or have dry eyes for life.
Right!!!
When I was small, I really wanted to wear glasses because I thought they were cool, but now I deeply regret wanting to wear them.
sameee

They are cool wym, especially if u can get ur prescription into a cool frame
@@m4gg0tbr41nz only problem is that they're annoying lol. u have to clean them, they slide down your face... eh
@@alien_lori it shouldnt slide down ur face if they're fitted correctly, u might need to get urs tightened or something but the cleaning isnt that big of a deal for me i just use the edge of my shirt, although mine arent dirty all that much
Ok, Google spying confimed. It literally knows that I wear glasses and it just so happens that I was thinking about surgery. Damn
haha
Stop acting stupid. You've either watched a Business Insider video in the past or Business Insider falls into a category of channel you've watched before.
Ever heard of Cambridge Analytica? Hahaha...
chancy319 well no shit
Dude you wear glasses in your profile pic lmao I don’t need to spy on you to figure that out
had LASEK and it hurts for like 4 days (equivalent to someone stinging one thousand needles in your eyes when you try to sleep but you get used to it on the third day). But after they take out the protective lense, it's like seeing a new word. truly grateful for this technology
When she said her pain was an 11... that deterred me to have this done
Cause she forgot to take that one pill
Same
It was only like that for like one night tho, and now her eyesight is fixed likely for the rest of her life lol
I had it done and yeah the first day was pretty awful but I just kept taking the pain meds and sleep meds until it was the next day.... then it was only an 8/10.
I also had PRK, the worst I felt was 3/4 out of 10 but I wouldn’t say pain it was more like discomfort. I had it done March 12. Also, vision was 20/20 two and a half weeks post op (guessing because the office isn’t allowing appointments unless there’s an emergency due to COVID 19 but I can see pretty well) :)
My mom has been legally blind her entire life and got this surgery. It was really cool to see my mom go from almost a cm thick glasses to being able to see better than everyone.
I am happy to hear that. Hope your mom Is doing great!
Aw I’m happy to hear that.

You do not need this. Laser eye surgery is extremely dangerous. Anyone considering it should be aware of that. Most people who have told me they have had it done, have had some kinds of problems, many of them serious and life-changing. I've had it done myself and it has ruined my life. Years on, my vision is still blurred and I am still in pain.

Lasik not only improved my vision, it improved my quality of life. Up until my surgery, I dealt with almost daily headaches behind my eyes. My mom was so freaked out by it she had an MRI done on me to make sure there wasn’t something wrong with my brain. After Lasik, NO MORE HEADACHES. My guess is my eyes were under constant strain since my vision sucked so bad, and then factor in the discomfort of contacts too. A month after the surgery, my mom actually cried when I told her I hadn’t had a single headache since.
That's nice to hear !!!
This is months later but this is so sweet your mom seems great
Probably you had a severe astigmatism. That's the cause for headaches.
I had daily headaches before I had LASIK, too! But I only got them when I wore my glasses. Despite getting them made out of the lightest materials available, the weight of the eyeglasses on my nose gave me very annoying headaches.
This happened to my mom. Would your eyes burn too.
I guess you could say it was a real "eye opening" experience.
I'll let myself out.
nice :))

This is by far the best description of this kind of eye surgery I have ever ever seen and heard explained. You described what to expect better than anyone else I have watched. My eyes are super sensitive as it is so I am scared to death to get the surgery done. My biggest fear is that I will move during the surgery and have a laser cut my eye . This explanation was brilliant. Thanks.
I got LASIK almost five years ago, and it's honestly been a life-changer. Waking up in the morning and being able to see, traveling and not worrying I'll run out of contacts or lose my glasses, being able to swim without extremely expensive prescription googles, watching a movie or even TV and being able to see finer details... It's some of the best money I've ever spent on myself.
Do your eyes get dry more often?

@@kaylee2515 wow I didnt know I can make someone laugh 🤧
It makes me almost jealous of all the people who went through this surgery and are now living without glasses or contacts. Of course what's even more upsetting are the people with naturally good eyesight. But that's just life and ok with my glasses and contacts. If only just my other major health issues would go away, damn.
what are your other health issues? i’d like to know if i can help
Why not save up and get an eye surgery urself lmao
I got my tests done and was considered a good candidate for lasik. I have very high prescription glasses. My doctors still talked me out of the surgery. told me that it wasn't worth the risk. said that I'd be moving from one form of a physical handicap to another and probably will have to be forever in touch with eye doctors if stuff went wrong.
If you can get away with glasses or contacts, nothing is worth the risk.
Don't worry everything is for our good even the health issues we just need to be patient and just thank God.
Not to scare anyone because I think this is rare but my dad did laser eye surgery and it just made it worse cuz something went wrong, his eyesight is now so bad he can’t wear glasses or contacts because none is strong enough. On the other hand his girlfriend did the surgery and it worked👍
Just done my blade Lasik last week
No PAIN or PRESSURE during whole surgery
But yes after surgery you will feel pressure, itchy, sore eyes. You might not even be able to open your eyes after surgery.
All you need is good sleep to calm these issues.
Procedure -
Whole procedure takes around 40-45 minutes of your time of which 25-30 minutes goes for preparation of your eyes ( numbing and clearing eyes)
Main surgery is of just 15 minutes.
Mine went pretty well and without nervous as the staff was friendly.
What to do after Lasik -
Intense eye care
No screen time for 2 days
Sleep as much as you can
Use black Goggles
Use white goggle after 2 days of surgery
If possible sleep with glasses on to prevent eyes from touching.
What not to do -
Touch eyes
Watching tv mobile right after surgery
What you will feel -
Blury vision
Halo
Rainbow in white light
Sensitivity to sunlight
( None of this happened to me at least)
Overall good results. Happy with surgery.!

I got the same surgery. Definitely one of the best things Ive done for myself. Pain was pretty bad first few days. Funniest memory of the healing process was trying to play video games and getting frustrated when i couldnt push my glasses up to see better 😂

IM TO SCARED TO PUT EYE DROPS IN MY EYES SO HOW DO I DO THIS-
Oof same...
You have to put eye drops in your eyes unless you want that expensive eye laser I have to put eye drops all you have to do is get your friend or mom lay on their lap look somewhere else when they put the eye drops you have to close your eyes for five minutes when your eyes are closed you have to wiggle them to get the eye drops to work more and your done! It seems scary but it doesn't hurt at all I have atleast taken 20 or 30 eye drops my entire life
SAME- once I had like an eye-checkup thing where they put drops in your eyes- and after that I got traumatized for my whole life ;_;
there actually not that bad i was also scared, once i had pink eye and i hate to take eye drops every day two drops for each eye and in the morning, afternoon, and night. I was scared for the first two days then i got used to it
@@Ayoaairah you had to do that? i just put my head up my mom put them and i was done
I’d rather be sedated then be awake during this
You have to look at the laser tho
The actual part where you lie down and look at the laser.. is about 15-20 seconds per eye. It's not that bad.. at all.

She definitely hasn't watched final destination!
Peace Mbodze lemme tell you that movie has put me off laser eye surgery
Omg no God please no
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING WHEN I SAW IT!!
Hahaha funny I came across this comment. I’m watching final destination 5 right now and so I searched for the LASIK surgery to see if they really put the metal bars under the eyelids because I‘d want one eventually. The doctor cleaning her eyeball here freaked me more honestly haha
i was thinking about getting mine done next month but than I'm scared i have watched final destination
This is downright my most feared thing. Just the thought of something even getting near my eye sounds like a nightmare
same. I cut my cornea once and that hurt a lot, I can’t imagine how I would do with this. I still want to have it done though bc glasses are such a pain :(
That's what the valium was for
Trust the Science
If you are a canidate, its totally worth it.
It just feels like you have an eye lash stuck in your eye for 3-4 days after the sugery, but the pain killers remedy that.
Just do your research and be sure to find an opthalmologist who has plenty of experience.
It is worth it, and the sooner you can get it done the more of a return you get.
I went through it this year and I was nervous as hell. They provide you Valium, they directly numb your eye. The machines can pick up on eye movements and will stop instantly if there is a change, and then continue again once it finds the correct alignment again. Your eyelids are held back with specialized surgical tape as shown in the video, and your eye is held in place by something (I couldn't see what it was, but it sets on your eye and applies a little bit of pressure) so your eye movement is mitigated. The flap procedure takes a minute or so, and then you are rotated to the main laser. This takes another minute and then your flap is replaced and you can close your eye. Each eye takes under five minutes for the whole process.
I recommend having a family member or friend you can trust help with drops and food/water on the first day, but after that just don't rub your eyes or get them wet.
The way they make the flap is pretty incredible. Once they replace the flap it is basically sealed as if the cut was never made. The cornea still needs to heal though, so you don't want to rub your eye or get water in it. The drops and vitamins, if they give you vitamins, help a lot too.
Same, I panic when I gotta use eye drops.
LASIK FOR ME WAS THE LIFE CHANGING DECISION
My surgery went really good my vision was approx 100% clear within 2 -3 hrs of lasik surgery even the pain after lasik was very minimal it was just irritation and redness and the pain was gone within 3hrs of lasik
after 3-4 hrs there wasn't any irritation or redness or pain . My vision became perfect !!
All praise to God ❤🎊
other people: i really wish i could get laser eye surgery 😞
*me after watching that one final destination 5 scene* Hahaha i think not.
It's really not that bad at all
I think i know what you're talking about, and it terrifys me.
Ikrrr🤡
Literally!!! That’s why I’m here to see what it’s really like. I watched that film when I was like 6 I’ve been traumatised ever since
Apparently there's 5 layers of safety security protecting the machine from acting up. Not sure if that's really the right number, but it's probably true, considering how much it costs and what it's for.

Same bro
Same😭but I’m scared of getting blinded
@@ARREMCCANALOFICAL me too, I’m too scared
ye ive had glass since kindergarten then switched to contacts mid 5th grade. and still wearing contacts in 8th grade.
this’d scare me so much i wouldn’t ever do this honestly
I had been looking forward to getting some form of laser eye surgery for just about my whole life. I started wearing glasses when I was around 8. In my mid 20s my glasses prescription finally stopped changing so I went to get assessed for laser and was told that my corneas are too thin so I’m ineligible for any type of laser eye surgery (not enough material to shave away/reshape). Devastated. Destined to be around a -6.5 script and spend way too much money on new glasses and contact lenses forever 😭
I started around that age to wear glasses and now im in my early 30s and my vission is somewhat stable enough for me to get an eye surgery but the problem is that my cornea is not only thin it is also uneven to the point that if my eyes get dry enough ... well lets just say the pain directly wake me up and blur my vision for almost the whole and make it insanly light sensible ( it feel like something is getting pulled out from my eye constantly ). I see my doctor once a year for check up and the scars that it had created as not worsen and gave me directive to follow to make sure they dont get dry. Once most of the scars are healed i will be able to do the first surgery to correct my cornea ( since trying to do it rn is too dangerous ) and after that i will be able to get the surgery for my vision.
Are you not even eligible for ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)? This surgery is an alternative to lasik that doesn't alter/reshape the cornea. It's also recommended to people who has dry eyes.
@@miirasaika6437 I was offered something along those lines but the ophthalmologist essentially tried to talk me out of it (significantly emphasised the risks and things that have gone wrong in previous patients as opposed to speaking about the benefits) which was rather off-putting
That’s so weird! My prescription was about -7 in one eye and -7,5 in another and I was eligible..
@@gorechotuma not weird. Genetically my corneas are thin (same issue runs in my family) which means there’s not enough tissue to shave away and reshape to correct my vision. In fact shaving away anything would pose a danger to my eye because it’s just too thin.
I got this done a week ago, been reading about different experiences and honestly I'm surprised by how a lot of people describe severe pain/discomfort/sight fluctuation. My eyes felt a bit dry and light-sensitive for the first few hours, but then it was like nothing even happened, and my vision was 100% immediately. So I guess for anyone considering this, take into consideration that the recovery is very different for each person.
@pearl I got mine done last week with "custom lasik". $4300 for both eyes but they gave me 24 month zero interest. $180 a month! I was sold.
Im also have to wear glasses about 9 yrs now..when i was Pra till middle school.. But it is hurt when u do eye surgery?
Was it lasik or prk!
@@nxan6160 lasik
@@_BMJ_ I had a surgery kind of like lasik but different so I assume the pain would about the same. I have a cornea disease called kerotoconus which causes the cornea to thin and become disformed so I had to have a surgery called crosslinking where they burn a whole into the cornea with alcohol and fill it in with a vitamin solution and cook it with a UV light for 30 minutes. As far as for the pain it really depends on the person. For my first eye the pain was fine and was only bad for a few hours but for my second one it lasted a few days. Ask your doctor for Valium and you can take half a one for anxiety if you have any before but I just saved it for aftrr the surgery to help me sleep and take a large dose of melatonin so you can sleep through the worst part after the surgery.
*Who else’s eyes were hurting while watching this?*

When she said she was feeling restless my grandmother said she should just read a book.
Yes, I facepalmed quite hard
Well, at least you can listen to audiobooks
I was mad when the doctor passed up on the opportunity for a perfect joke.
Her: “So when will I be able to see 2020?”
Doctor: “in about 2 months”
RCBCisLit he was just trying to make her feel less anxious and more comfortable 🤷🏻♀️
Doctors usually don’t crack jokes when a patient is asking a question they’re concerned about.

I do not discourage people from LASIK, I think for most people it's a perfectly fine procedure that takes 15 minutes and a quick recovery. However, because of the shape of my cheek bones and brow bone, they had significant difficulty with my surgery. It ended up being about 45 minutes of the worst experience of my life. It felt like genuine torture.
But like I said, I know I'm a bit of an outlier, and despite the complications and the extreme pain (which lasted for a couple days), my results came out very good. But if they tell you that you have a "warrior's brow," I'd strongly recommend thinking twice.
P.S. If you still want the procedure, talk to the surgeon about making adjustments to make things easier. Perhaps allow quick breaks to allow yourself to recover if the operation isn't going well. Also maybe request they hold your head steady for the machine, because the lens/monocle thing they put on my eye was so painful that it was difficult to focus on keeping my head lined up for the machine, forcing them to reset over and over again, so if my head was better secured it would've drastically sped up the procedure and reduced my pain exposure.

When you have to go through a surgery but still you want that promotion
You know who is taking care of themselves at the job? The higher-ups! Just take care of yourself because no one else will do it for you.
I recommend having someone look after you post surgery; I was pretty zonked out.
New vocabulary word: zonked
My friend drove home after getting it done !
You should be looked after for the first hours after every surgery, since you will get some kind of anesthetic in most cases...my kid went to get sthg to eat with me after one and she said she had a ball bc I was still out of it af! ^^
How much diopters did you have before the surgery?
meanwhile Whistlin Diesel (Cody), making that decision of eye surgery was his worst decision of his entire life. every morning his vision is basically considered blind, he also has to put in eye drops every morning to even open his eye because of how dry it is from not being able to give it self tears through out the night. He also claimed that the roundness shape of his eye was messed up and disfigured because the doctors suction tool wouldn't stick to his eye so they pressed very very hard and about 5 failed attempts it finally stuck to his eye
A squirt? This dude just dumped a whole water bottle in there!

@Lime among us u mean lucky guy😏
I'd really like to undergo eye surgery, but I'm such a chicken
Omg me too.....the risk of it ruining your eyes terrifies me. AND I'm not crazy about the idea of clamping my eyes open and smelling them burn while a laser shoots them lol
Please think very carefully about this. Laser eye surgery is extremely dangerous. Anyone considering it should be aware of that. I've had it done myself and it has ruined my life. Years on, my vision is still blurred and I am still in pain.
In fact, most people who have told me they have had it done, have also had some kinds of problems, many of them serious and life-changing.

I got lasik. Doctor told me to pass out as soon as I got home. I didn’t really experience pain, and I was good to return to work 2 days later. Totally worth it

You don't feel it.
Braces were nothing for me tbh but laser eye surgery oh f*** that
@@theblackswordsman9951 I wonder what would happen if I accidentally moved my eye when the turn on the laser 😰
@@brindha6008 Idk just don't do that lol.
Edit: Oh yeah i remember it tracks your eye movement so if your eye does stray it automatically turns off. Very impressive equipment.
That prednisone eye drop solution is a miracle. I had shingles on my eyeball and it was so irritated I wanted to rip it out of my eye socket and throw it against the wall. Went to the Dr and they prescribed that (and Valtrex) and the irritation ended immediately, never to return.

Welcome fellow traveler
I had Lasik 20 years ago. Best decision ever. Afterwards it feels like someone is pressing their thumb in your eye, but it is bearable, not painful. I could see details on leaves on trees while driving, which I could never see before. I did not need these dark sunglasses while in the house and did not have any of these issues. Definitely did not need pain killers. I feel bad for her.
How your eyesight was ?? I am ( _10._10) i don't know if the operation will succeed with me ?
Does it still happen??
@@meryemchetti4383 My friend had the same vision, his lasik has been a great success.
wow, can you elaborate on that pressing the thumb in your eyes thing, and after these 20 years is your eyesight the same and you can see the details e.g details on leaves on trees and have you recently checked your eyesight grade, is it still 20/20?
That's great! Well I heard that after around 10 years the eyesight gets less clear and after maybe 15 you'll have to go back to wearing specs, not sure if it's true, but glad yours went well!
Doctor: Hey lets try using lasers for eye surgery.
2nd Doctor: Yoo sounds like a good idea.
Mobile Legend It is better, the other option is a sharp needle.
Video Commenter **cough** excuse me????????
I don't get it. It IS a good idea. Certain frequencies are only absorbed by certain cells so you can selectively burn exactly the right stuff.
ICL is one of the best option.. for correcting refractive errors in young age groups...
My eyesight is garbage.. I can't see my reflection in the mirror from just 2 feet away.
I have - 2 in each eye... And I didn't even know till like 5 days ago
Sameeeee
Hm that's bad my vision is 75 meaning I can see close and a little far but not to far I can see more then 2 inches though

Pros of wearing glasses:
- would look cute in certain style
- looks slightly intelligent
- protects your eyes from dust (protected me from hydrochloric acid once)
Cons:
- eating hot food is a pain
- accidentally sitting on your glasses
- forgot that you currently wear glass so you tried to search for it while wearing it
- getting out of an air conditioned car is a pain
- glasses slides down your nose when its oily
- not suitable for all outfits (rarely seen anyone wearing a ball gown with glasses smh)
- u gotta change it every few years cuz u get blinder every time
- gotta wear it to the bathroom (bcus im that blind)
- you cant lie down on lateral side while wearing glasses
- you *will* be called a nerd
- cant wear cool sunglasses unless u have a custom made prescription on it
- u have to bring your glasses even in swimming pool
- u cant do extreme activites while wearing glasses so u gotta do it while not seeing anything
- have to do daily maintenance of keeping it clean
Yep lol i look better with glasses
They actually saved my right eye one time because I was spinning scissors on my finger and it slipped off but luckily I was wearing my glasses
U forgot the most important thing your vision will increase
the worst thing is masks
>people will call you a nerd
Never had people say this to me before and ive worn glasses for years
Awesome walk-through! Very descriptive, my experience was less painful, and I was questioning whether the medical contacts were still there after the first day
How long were you sensitive to light ?

My anxiety is already bad. There’s no way in hell I’d let someone anywhere near my eyes like that. I’ll just stick to contacts and glasses.
... very wise
@@zay7383 No thanks
God it feels so uncomfortable
Imma just stick up with my glasses
The numbing they put on your eyes causes them to stay still and also completely painless. Before procedures they offer medication such as valium I believe which brings down nerves. You can also probably ask a doctor to prescribe it for you maybe for that event. Going to a good company is the most important thing, due to them having better tech and experience.
@@break1ngbat thanks but I’ll pass. My insurance pays for my glasses and contacts anyway.
Ohhhhh this is the best eye protection ad. Thank you for motivating me to protect my eyes.
Jesus I think I'd just wear glasses for the rest of my life instead of this
That's exactly what I was thinking
Dont worry, talk to your eye doctor...
Just one month of recovery and you wont have to worry about glasses
Its a highly successful procedure..
You'll be fine
Not me, I can become blind when I will be around 60 years old if I don't do this procedure. Of course, this is not my only reason.

@@deanaltemose236 tyy
@@le8429 it’s been a little over a month since I had the procedure and I will say it was definitely worth it. I didn’t experience any pain (some irritation at times YMMV). The recovery was a little slow for me (my left eye was the quickest despite being my bad eye prior to PRK lol) but I can see great now. I still feel naked without glasses since I wore them for over 30 years. The recovery process is probably the worst but it’s really just a minor inconvenience and as long as you tell yourself it’s only temporary you should do fine.

Better early than late
Well no matter what 2 months will pass by. Once it’s been two months you’ll either see great or see the same.
I did Lasik 20 years ago. I could see perfectly on the second day when I woke up already. And there was no pain on the second day as well. 20 years later, I have a little bit short sign come back. But that's actually good that as I am getting old, I can still read without reading glasses in 46. Many of my friends my age already need to wear reading glasses.
I needed it as an infant in order not to go blind. (As a flat out newborn)
Nowdays I still wear glasses and can see the laser burns marks when I get my eyes scanned.
Either it's no vision at all or not having 20/20 vision.
@A H No one ever told me this
I have been wearing glasses since i was 7 years old :( and no it wasn't because I watched too much T.V
The problem with lasek Is that its useless if you do It before turning 26 because they external layer of the Eye would Just grow back to its deformed state
@@Creatorsan Generally every medical procedure has a expiry period - for example my tooth implant has 10 years. After that it is just depending upon how good u take care of it, the longer it lasts.
Lasik surgery is a very debatable topic. Dry eyes, painful feeling for the rest of the life, sleepless vision, burning sensation and not to mention the trauma.
Did this 13 years ago. Definitely worth it. Haven't been using glasses ever since. Painful after the procedure if not on painkillers, but it's was a 15 min procedure and you walk out with perfect vision
stop convincing me!! it's sooo tempting
i have astigmatism and my right eye is far-sighted while my left eye is near-sighted do u guys know if im still eligible for surgery? ive had glasses since kindergarten and i don’t even remember how life is with 20/20 eyesight cause i was like 6 D:
@@halahkk You would need to go get a free consultation,

15 minutes without blinking??? UGHHHH I BLINK SO MUCH THIS IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTE HELL 😭😭
They lube your eyes
They numb your eye so you have almost no feeling and use something called a speculum to hold your eye open. You are basically unaware that blinking exists while the procedure is underway.
I had an eye surgery long time ago, and the local anesthesia blocks the need to blink, you are so relaxed in the process.
LOL They Lube Your Eyes Dude So That It Prevents For Blinking and It Has No Pain At All.............
Hell me too 🥺😭
Thanks Michelle! Your video has helped me to feel less anxiety about getting eye surgery. I understand now that it isn't always easy afterwards but I shouldn't panic
if full recovery takes some time. Some people seem to recover more quickly than others. Thanks Tech insider.
I learned one thing,
A dry eye is a thing,
Ran Dom have you never had sore eyes that no matter how much you rubbed or blinked it just wouldn’t get better? Lucky bugger.
