I got it last year. While there is no pain, the experience is far from comfortable, and your eyes feel "tired" all the time for months, and you go through a lot of eye drops.

I got LASIK surgery back in November 2022. I was obviously nervous and scared what could happen. My eye surgeon was so amazing however. He made sure, before operation, that my eyes were numb TWICE as many times as needed. He said "I wanted to be make sure you weren't nervous anymore to do the surgery. We didn't even need to numb the eyes 6 times." He does this with almost every patient who has anxiety and fear. At the table, he numbs the eyes again. During operation, you literally feel NOTHING. You only hear the laser make it's rhythmic buzzing noise indicating it's doing it's job to correct your vision. I was only in there for less than 10 minutes. Changed my whole life in that amount of time. Yes, it's expensive, but it's not "You're gonna go broke in debt" expensive... So worth it. And don't let this surgery give you horrible anxiety and thoughts of not wanting to get it done. I cried when I got mine done cuz I immediately could see clearer right off the bat.
@@isthatyou7267They use something to keep yours eye open and make sure they stay in place and you can't blink because they give you morphine which makes you calm the whole surgery
There’s a lot of people here who have had really positive experiences with lasik and that’s really great but it’s worth noting that there have been a great deal of cases where the patients eyes got significantly worse and were unable to recover fully. They didn’t even get finically reimbursed because to do the surgery you sign a waiver
Thank you for putting this disclaimer, because I have heard way more stories of how it went wrong and truly ruined so many people's eyesight. Not worth the risk imo! But for those that it worked for truly be grateful because it could have went a different direction. Please do research and really ask yourself if it's really worth it.
My sister’s insurance covers lasik but refuses to do so. A decent number of her coworkers who either done it themselves or know someone claim that their eyes hurt years after the procedure.
Ya, first of all, mine was painful because my eyes have "small orbits", ie are deeper and seem smaller so they had to force the machine into my eyes. The thing holding the eyelids open was not pleasant either and the lasers are pretty "blinding". In the end they burned my cornea which made the eyes dry and I had to use gels for months and do check-ups every two weeks before my sight stabilised. Myopia was cured in one eye but remained slightly in the other. Just research the clinic you want to use. If it's cheap and they got people coming in and out like they are on a conveyor belt, then expect to be treated like a cheap product
This is exactly the reason why I don't want to get this done. Doctors always tell me to do this 'cause my sight is awful since I was young but I've always heard so many bad stuff about it, I really want to stick with my glasses as long as I can
@@GoodVibes0nly. it is worth remembering that you are far more likely to hear about things that went wrong, than things that went as expected. That can throw off our perception of things, and it’s why testimonies are not necessarily a reliable way to evaluate something. News has the exact same issue, and it’s why negative stories are featured at a far higher rate than positive ones. We also have a negative bias as a species, we are built to give more weight to negative events and over represent them in our mind.
I had this done around 6 years ago. The laser only used 20 seconds on each eyes. But my eyesight was so bad that I had to do the operation 2 times. First was to balance the eyes, so both eyes had the same sight. I had to wait 6 months for my second operation, so that my eyes could adjust. The second operation also only took 20 seconds for each eye. Now 6 years later, my eye sight is about as perfect as it can be, but I needed atleast a year to get used to the new sight, and with not having to wear glasses anymore. Now, i'm so used to my new sight that it feels like I never had bad eyesight to begin with
@@zorawar8112 First of all, the recovery process/efficiency can vary on people to.people. Some last till dying, some last 3 years, but generally, the surgery is sucessful on up to 10 degrees, so you can do it!
@@Rayven_420 I had dry eyes for a while. But it was just my eyes adjusting to not having to wear glasses anymore, and ofc healing after the operation. I don't have any side effects anymore, but I did have side effects for about 1 year after the operation. To be honest, the hardest side effect was just getting used to not having to wear glasses anymore
Whomever going for LASIK, please make sure you are extensively informed. I've looked up of cases of LASIK patients having chronic eye dryness, some have gone mad from it and offed themselves
Been about 2 months since I got LASIK. For those thinking about it, but are scared, I'll give alittle advice; Is it scary? Hell yes, they are cutting your eye open and shooting a lazer into it. BUT, it doesn't hurt, you eyes are held open and thats a bit uncomfortable, there are multiple people around you making sure everything is going okay. The worst part is after, when you have to take multiple drops, ever hour for the rest of the day. It's been two months, and I regret nothing. The sensation of being able to see more than 5 inches without glasses is literally insane. If you have a chance, I 100% recommend it. It's going to suck after the surgery for a bit, but, it is completely worth it.
I'm feeling better after knowing your experience. Okay so do you have any idea at what age we should get it done ? If like im 22 years old so is it safe to get it done now or later ? And also what were your eye power?
@@simi9944 I happen to be 22 years old too, and I think getting it done now was very worth it, finally am at that age that my eyes have stopped changing. I've been told I might need reading glasses when I am 40s - 50s but that's a small thing. I don't remember my eye prescription as it changed so much for me, it was absolutely terrible though; I needed them all the time, and could only see a few inches in front of me without them. Needless to say. I would recommend it now if you can afford it, and have the short time for the recovery. It's been just about 3 months now, and it's crazy being able to read things from afar, that used to be a blurry line before. I personally highly recommend it.
Omg thank you I'll show your comment to my family In order for them to book an appointment for me, my vision is very weak, you can't imagine lol it's like -4.00 and -3.75

@@kurmadua you feel a lil bit of pain bcs of the surgery but it's not that bad. The surgery doesn't take too long and you just have to wear sunglasses for a few days if I'm not wrong.
@@kurmaduaduring operation you won't feel a thing but after the anesthesia wore off ut would be a bit painful. Best you can do is sleep and after that it wouldn't be painful anymore after you wake up. The difficult part is sleeping not because it hurts but you need eye protection before you sleep to let your eyes heal without you rubbing it accidentally. It's annoying but not painful. After you are fully healed you can enjoy having a brighter vision. I think some side effect is having dry eyes but I never had that so I can't be too sure
I had this 3 months ago and honestly it has been life changing. The procedure is so fast that a you dont even know whats going on. The longest part is the laser, and depending on your eye prescription it takes anywhere between ~10-60 sec and you are basically done. There is a small recovery period where its kinda unpleasant to open your eyes in brightly lit places, but thay goes away within 1-2 days. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting this, especially if below -3 or more
It's even funnier that I started looking up some Dust in the Wind covers and suddenly I get yall replies. This song (which is my favorite) is one of the reasons why this movie is one of the greatest in all of horror cinema imo lmao
I've had this surgery about 5 years ago. They made the flap with a laser as well. The procedure was kind of fast, faster than I expected it to be. We were in a room with like 10 others and got numbing eyedrops which in turn we were called into the surgery room one by one. Once there, the nurse suctions a small plastic cup on your eyeballs to keep it from closing. Then the laser machine comes down, resting on one of the cups. It then makes the flap which took about 10-12 seconds per eye, after which I had to return to the original room with the others until we all had our flaps made. Finally I was called into the room again in which I had to lie down again where the doctor carefully opens the flap. A different machine rests above your head and you have to keep your eye as still as you can. The machine is fast enough that it won't fuck up your eye if you move but no movement is always better. It took about 7-8 seconds per eye to correct my vision. After the whole ordeal I get brought to a different room to rest for about 15 min before I could go home, and had to return the next day for a check up. All in all it was more scary than painful, practically no pain at all aside from some pressure from the machine resting on the cup and a small pinching sensation from making the flap. Aside from seeing the bright red light, there was no sensation from the correctional laser at all. Best €2.400 I had ever spent in my life, I still see sharp after all these years and I have a lifelong warranty so even if my vision wanes in 10-20 years, I can go back again for free. The Netherlands btw where I went to a company called 'Visus Oogkliniek' which is the best in my country where they always use the latest available technology or you get a heavy discount if some other company uses newer tech. Even a famous MMA fighter, Rico Verhoeven, got his eyes lasered there a month before his big fight (he got a more expensive surgery which allowed for faster healing to participate in contact sports).
@@AJag-bb6xu I had to wear dark shades when I left untill I went to sleep. I could see perfectly when I woke up the next day. The flap healed in about 3 days and healed fully in the span of a year or two in a sense that a doctor wouldn't be able to tell there was a flap(hence the no contact sports for this procedure, but I can now if I want to). Over the span of 3-4 months I had dry eyes which I had to use specialized eyedrops for I had to get from the pharmacy.
I had similar surgery like this last January (PRK) . During surgery was the worst timing for me to remember that one final destination scene 😂 It was replaying in my brain while I can smell the burning flesh of my eyes from the laser 😅
Fun Fact: If you're nearsighted, you will still be nearsighted after LASIK. Unlike farsightedness (which is the irregularities on the lens), nearsightedness is the elongation of the eye ball itself. You may have both, but lasik will only correct the lens, not the elongation.
The surgery itself was painless. Instead I was nervous and my eyeballs felt a lot of pressure. BUT, the pain hits when the numbing eyedrops are gone. Then, my eyeballs felt like they were burning! I couldn't do much about it but cry and drug myself to sleep. 😭 One of my worst nights ever. The benefit of lasik is that you dont have to wear glasses/ contacts but there can be side effects as well. I have intense halos/ glares, especially with night time driving. It was literally impossible to drive at night. 😢
bro the halo vision is not permanent it goes away after a month , i did the surgery myself and iam perfectly fine, but i have to say it does come back if you stare at a tv or phone screen for a while but its not bad tho.
Any Lasik place worth their salt doesn’t use a physical blade to make an incision in your eye. They use a laser that creates little tiny bubbles at a certain depth and these bubbles form the “cut.” This is much more precise and hygienic than a steel blade. It reduces the likelihood of infection by a significant amount and the eye heals faster.
An extremely fast and easy check online shows that bladed and bladeless LASIK are both their own standard verified procedures with their own benefits and drawbacks.
I just want everyone to know, it is very much painless and it can be very beneficial. Don't be freaked out by this animation if you are going to have one
When there is an error in lasik, the person will feel extreme pain and I hear from person experience it, it like you stab 100 times in the eyes and want to die, although this is rare chances, so you not need to fear it. (I think)
Remember: laser eye surgery is not covered by most insurance. If something goes wrong, the doctor can basically say “fuck you” and wave your signature in your face
@@travisgonzalez8885 almost everyone i've seen has a positive experience. there are exceptions everywhere, obv, as long as its not the norm, it should be fine.
@@radhamanoj1721when I went in it was only 3.5k I say only cause it literally gives you perfect vision. It would’ve been 4.5k but insurance covered 1k and most of the time they have deals going on that cover around that much anyways
People can talk as much smack on those movies all they want. The amount of fears people have specifically due to Final Destination is pretty notable. For example: - driving behind log/pipe trucks - Getting in a tanning bed - getting on an elevator - letting your feet get too close to the end of an escalator - getting lasik surgery - being ANYWHERE near a pool drain These all come from people I've spoken with about the series! I personally was terrified to take showers until I was maybe 14 because of FD2. Good movies? Maybe not. Fear generators? Hell yeah.
@emhooaryou698 I saw a scene in one of the movies of someone getting their eye taken out by a flying rock propelled by a lawn mower. Safe to say I didn't like being near them growing up😂
Kinda good man tbh unless you REALLY need it lasik can a lot of times cause more issues than benefits people just don’t speak about it too often I saw a really in depth video on it by a guy who had it happen to him and if you want i can try find it still makes you realise how little people will speak about issues to seemingly good things
I got this done 5 years ago at 20. It changed my life. My vision is perfect now. It’s was not painful but very uncomfortable, you just felt a ton of pressure on your eye. I would recommend it if you hate contacts/glasses!
LASIK surgery is a procedure that can improve vision by reshaping the cornea. During the surgery, a laser is used to remove a tiny amount of tissue from the cornea. This helps to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The surgery is quick and painless, with most patients experiencing improved vision almost immediately. Overall, LASIK surgery is a safe and effective way to enhance eyesight for those who are eligible.
@@travisgonzalez8885 Thank you for saying this, nobody else seems to understand this which is unfortunate as many people may screw themself over by doing this surgery
PRK or trans PRK is an better option if you want not get youre eyes touched too munch but PKR will have an longer vision trouble period than lasik After the Intervention because PKR remove the entire first layer of cornea so its will take Time to regen
Do your research before getting lasik. I got it done and it’s very nice not needing glasses during the day, but I cannot see AT ALL if it’s even mildly dim. My girlfriend has to lead me by the hand through movie theaters. The starburst effect on headlights at night is BRUTAL to the point I have to wear tinted glasses just to feel comfortable driving at night. I actually jumped a curb and hit an island sign that I couldn’t see at all due to a combination of high-beams across the intersection and heavy rain. I also have a very limited cone of sight, meaning I can’t find wall outlets or small details unless I get lucky enough to stare DIRECTLY at it. I have to run my eyes along the lengths of walls or the floor just to find things. My eyes were bad before, but I definitely don’t think they were THIS bad. I probably wouldn’t have gotten the surgery knowing what I know now.
LASIK is amazing. I got it done about 6 months ago and it was a really good experience. Before LASIK, my prescription was -7.25 and -8.00 It's literally so insane that I can just wake up and see everything so clear. I didn't get dry eye and my eyes don't get tired.
The most messed up thing about this procedure is that it's side effects are never mediatized. Dryness is real after this surgery. Like permanent eye dryness. Look at reviews for this.
Got this done a week ago. The surgery itself was 10 mins, 5 mins each eye, then next day I was already seeing 20/20 and according to my doctors it’s only going to get better as my eyes heal. I do experience some mild dry eye but it’s normal, nothing compared to dry eyes due to contacts. I started wearing contact lenses at the age of 12, currently 23, and I couldn’t be anymore happier of not wearing some damn piece of plastic on my eye every single day. I was always so hesitant to get the surgery and for good reasons, glad I waited and got it done by a good doctor and at a good place. Also the surgery was completely painless, shortly after though it started stinging really bad, but as I was advised, I went home and slept for a couple hours because of the Xanax I was given, after my nap my vision wasn’t perfect but I could still see. The following day my vision was already 20/20.
Trust me, your doctor would basically have to try to get something like that to happen. There’s multiple people in the room watching the entire process, and that laser doesn’t go unattended for even a single second while it’s running.
I swear!!!! I have been wearing glasses since I was like 10 I guess, and I’ve always thought of lasik but then only to be terrified by popping my eyeball out!!!!
Man I just thought the same, I haven't even watched that movie but yesterday they showed that clip on tv and I got freaking triggered 😭 and now I see this, it was the first thing that came to my mind
As far as I know, lasik is not used to correct people's irregularly shaped corneas. Its flattening the cornea to direct the light to the right place in the eyeball. There could be many reasons why it doesn't do this naturally, maybe its the shape of the eyeball, or the lens underneath the pupil has gone stiff with age. And that flap doesn't fully heal closed, there's always the risk the flap could reopen again.
Due to emmetropization of the eye, your eyeball length may be changing. As a result of that change, light will not hit the retina at the back of the eye correctly causing blurriness of vision in either shorter distances or longer distances, depending on of the light falls in front or behind the retina. This surgery does not account for eyeball length changes at all and permanently alerts the lens of the eye. If your eyeball length changes after surgery your eyesight will be even worse than it was before you had surgery.
Back in the late 80s early 90s I believe, my grandma went to get a lasik surgery, that’s when doctors just started using lasik. The machine malfunctioned or something wrong the doctor did which caused the laser to burn her eye. My grandma lost her vision in that eye and lived with only one eye working until she died last year at 98 years old. RIP Nana!
I had Lasik surgery done three or four years ago. No complications, no problems, it took longer to get in to have the procedure done than it took to actually complete it. Didn't feel a thing while it was happening, just looked where the doctor told me to look, and my vision was completely fixed. I could smell a slight burning smell while it happened, but, I wasn't worried in the slightest. When I retook my driver's vision test to remove the glasses requirement, I could see the letters on the 20/0 line. The testing instrument they used tested out to 20/0, but I only had to read the 20/20 line to complete the test.
@@Zhou_Yu I absolutely hate having glasses and not having to see. I would ABSOLUTELY take this surgery if i had the money. It is most definitely worth it, you probably have NEVER experienced the pain of having such bad vision you can't even see anything unless its right in your face.
@@Envixity-ph3nbthere’s people that get it but it comes out to be terrible. Go watch whistlin diesels video on getting lasik and you’ll see why it’s somehow better to just stay with glasses
Lasik can be bad because the flap can actually unflap itself from a hard enough impact or if you rub your eyes, and it’s so delicate, you couldn’t just put it back in place like a contact lens. The other way is getting the flap removed entirely during the surgery, then putting soft contact lenses on the eyes for a week until the cornea (flap) grows back. This method is insanely painful throughout the whole week and a lot of pain meds are administered, but well worth the wait and pain.
i can’t wait to get this procedure done once i’m old enough. i’ve had myopia (nearsightedness) since i was 9 and have worn glasses every single day from then on. my vision would deteriorate a lot when i was younger but in recent years it’s stayed more or less the same. although i’m beyond excited to get my vision corrected in the next few years, i’m also a bit upset that i’ll no longer have to wear glasses. it’s definitely gonna take me a long time to get used to, so i honestly see myself getting a pair of non-prescription glasses just to feel like myself for a little longer haha
Yo we're the same, except I've had mine since I was 8 years old. I think I'm not gonna stop wearing glasses even after correcting my vision with this one lol. I most likely will wear the non-prescriptions for all my life, I'm too used to having glasses on my face😆
me too man, I've had both nearsightedness on one eyeand farsightedness on the other since i was 6 (I'm 19 now) and as soon as i get some money saved I'll definitely do the operation (hoping that I'm suitable) and then probably wear non prescription glasses
@@StarMisura yes and no. no, because that means i can see perfectly without frames on my face. but yes, because i’ve had frames for a long time so they hold a bit of nostalgia with me. it’s really gonna take me a longggg time to get used to not wearing glasses every day since i’ve had them for half of my life by now
@@TaifAlhillawy tell that to the thousands of people who enjoy increased quality of life after lasik. Do you even know how glasses impact literally any sport, and even multiple careers?
Just wear glasses, guys. Side effects that sometimes can happen are cruel, and people have killed themselves over them. Also, you have to do this over and over again. One side effect includes dry eyes, which are not very pleasent and can sometimes be way too extreme, which is why people commit suicide
Man after hearing Whistlinsdiesel's story about this I decided HELL NO on ever getting this done he is literally blind in one eye and in the other he suffers from dry eye as well as he can't be in the sun for long or his eyes start hurting badly. SO I'm just gonna stick with glasses plus I don't really have a problem with glasses like a lot of people do.
My father had this surgery, but it was a failure resulting in even worse vision on one eye close to blindness. Technically the documents stated the risks, but the doctor basically said “Don’t worry about it, the chances are basically zero” while applying anaesthesia
Correction: There is no wrong w your cornea shape, instead, it is your whole eye ball shape that too oval/too plan. Lasik is done by shaving ur cornea shape to mimick a contact lense. Consequently, ur cornea become thinner and more prone to be torn off. Its just a plastic sugery, not to cure your eye problem
No, you can have incorrectly shaped cornea just like incorrect eyeball shape. If a cornea is too rounded, you have nearsightedness if it's too flat, you get farsightedness
As someone who got lasik vision the experience of getting the surgery is basically a minute of them doing stuff to your eye which is easy to ignore, and then then when they finally put the laser machine over your eye you feel a pressure on your eye and it is pretty damn scary but then it's over pretty fast. The surgery only takes a couple minutes per eye
Hey I got a question. During the procedure, even with anesthesia, can you see? And after they Lazer your eyes, can you see? Or until the anesthesia wear off?
His videos make me realize that medical procedures are just forms of torture but with anesthetic. “This one weird trick the mafia _doesn’t_ want you to know!”
reminds me of HFY (Humanity F_k Yeah) stories that discuss human surgeries and how theyd seem like creative torture to an alien race that isn't as durable as humans.
Q: Doesn’t it need any kind of medicine or gel to fix the cornea back to the eye ? A: The epithelium, which covers the outer surface of the cornea, closes the edges of the corneal flap for the first day or two after surgery. During the next few weeks, natural substances inside your cornea connect the corneal flap to the underlying tissue.
@@shreds08 it usually starts to heal within 2-4 hours after the procedure and takes up to few weeks to fully recover. However, we can’t deny that sometimes(rarely) the corneal flap dislocation or slippage occurs due to rubbing of eyes and forceful blinking.
I had this surgery back in September 2019, I was technically blind without glasses; it's been 4 years now, best decision of my life! The dry eye issue lasted like a month for me.
I actually got this surgery, and it was amazing how i could see again. i was dry crying because i was so relieved that after 20 years, i could see just fine again
Using a programmed laser, your eye surgeon reshapes parts of your cornea. With each pulse of the laser beam, a tiny amount of corneal tissue is removed. After reshaping the cornea, the surgeon lays the flap back into place. The flap usually heals without stitches
I was treated with Lasik last year in June. I used to wear specs since 1999 when i was 6 year old. It was really emotional for me. The video looks terrifying but it's totally painless and you won't feel a thing. Also, it will take at max 30 sec per eye for treatment.
Had femto smile lasik surgery to fix my short sightedness and heres how it was: The more comfortable lasik procedure tends to be the one where they use a laser to cut the corneal flap and then another laser to correct the eye sight. No pain, since they use anesthetic eyedrops and lubricant eyedrops that help you not feel the need to blink or itch your eye, before you go into surgery. Scariest parts is the feeling of pressure on your eye as you briefly go blind (you can see your eye sight fade into black.), since your mind panics when it realises the eye is open and youve really gone blind if only for a short moment. That and when you feel them peeling the corneal flap back so the laser has access to the eye, as well as peeling it forward back into place, you can feel them do it which is weird lol. Proceedure takes only like 15 mins but including prep is about an hour or 2. After the surgery you get bedrest to let the flap heal. but you may wake up with very itchy eyes (the lubricant eyedrop wearing off) and because of the eye cover you cannot itch it. Doing so could very well damage your eyes very badly. In other situations, where there is pain or it doesnt make your eyesight good, the surgery has clearly gone wrong. The surgery is meant to be painless and help with your eyesight not the opposite. Of course at the end of the day people may have different experiences but this one is my experience and i hope it helps! (I understand some people didnt end up having eyedrops or were put under during surgery)
I got PRK (almost exactly like lasik, but they remove the flap completely) a year ago. It has a much longer and more painful recovery than lasik but is now completely worth it. It took about 3 months for me to be able to see normally, but now I can see perfectly even when swimming or just waking up, and my dry eye is gone. No regrets at all
Lasik is like shock therapy. You either get it and it fixes your life so you go tell everyone how great it is, or completely destroys it and lives you a disabled person

There’s a lot of people here who have had really positive experiences with lasik and that’s really great but it’s worth noting that there have been a great deal of cases where the patients eyes got significantly worse and were unable to recover fully.
They didn’t even get finically reimbursed because to do the surgery you sign a waiver
Thank you for putting this disclaimer, because I have heard way more stories of how it went wrong and truly ruined so many people's eyesight. Not worth the risk imo! But for those that it worked for truly be grateful because it could have went a different direction. Please do research and really ask yourself if it's really worth it.
My sister’s insurance covers lasik but refuses to do so. A decent number of her coworkers who either done it themselves or know someone claim that their eyes hurt years after the procedure.
Ya, first of all, mine was painful because my eyes have "small orbits", ie are deeper and seem smaller so they had to force the machine into my eyes. The thing holding the eyelids open was not pleasant either and the lasers are pretty "blinding".
In the end they burned my cornea which made the eyes dry and I had to use gels for months and do check-ups every two weeks before my sight stabilised.
Myopia was cured in one eye but remained slightly in the other.
Just research the clinic you want to use. If it's cheap and they got people coming in and out like they are on a conveyor belt, then expect to be treated like a cheap product
This is exactly the reason why I don't want to get this done. Doctors always tell me to do this 'cause my sight is awful since I was young but I've always heard so many bad stuff about it, I really want to stick with my glasses as long as I can
@@GoodVibes0nly. it is worth remembering that you are far more likely to hear about things that went wrong, than things that went as expected. That can throw off our perception of things, and it’s why testimonies are not necessarily a reliable way to evaluate something. News has the exact same issue, and it’s why negative stories are featured at a far higher rate than positive ones. We also have a negative bias as a species, we are built to give more weight to negative events and over represent them in our mind.

I had this done around 6 years ago. The laser only used 20 seconds on each eyes. But my eyesight was so bad that I had to do the operation 2 times. First was to balance the eyes, so both eyes had the same sight. I had to wait 6 months for my second operation, so that my eyes could adjust. The second operation also only took 20 seconds for each eye. Now 6 years later, my eye sight is about as perfect as it can be, but I needed atleast a year to get used to the new sight, and with not having to wear glasses anymore. Now, i'm so used to my new sight that it feels like I never had bad eyesight to begin with

And you can smell yourself being cooked
That's not what happened with me@@emomu
@gioyousnothing is painful during this procedure
Been about 2 months since I got LASIK.
For those thinking about it, but are scared, I'll give alittle advice; Is it scary? Hell yes, they are cutting your eye open and shooting a lazer into it. BUT, it doesn't hurt, you eyes are held open and thats a bit uncomfortable, there are multiple people around you making sure everything is going okay.
The worst part is after, when you have to take multiple drops, ever hour for the rest of the day.
It's been two months, and I regret nothing. The sensation of being able to see more than 5 inches without glasses is literally insane.
If you have a chance, I 100% recommend it. It's going to suck after the surgery for a bit, but, it is completely worth it.
I'm feeling better after knowing your experience. Okay so do you have any idea at what age we should get it done ? If like im 22 years old so is it safe to get it done now or later ? And also what were your eye power?
@@simi9944 I happen to be 22 years old too, and I think getting it done now was very worth it, finally am at that age that my eyes have stopped changing. I've been told I might need reading glasses when I am 40s - 50s but that's a small thing.
I don't remember my eye prescription as it changed so much for me, it was absolutely terrible though; I needed them all the time, and could only see a few inches in front of me without them.
Needless to say. I would recommend it now if you can afford it, and have the short time for the recovery.
It's been just about 3 months now, and it's crazy being able to read things from afar, that used to be a blurry line before.
I personally highly recommend it.
Omg thank you I'll show your comment to my family In order for them to book an appointment for me, my vision is very weak, you can't imagine lol it's like -4.00 and -3.75

@@kurmaduaduring operation you won't feel a thing but after the anesthesia wore off ut would be a bit painful. Best you can do is sleep and after that it wouldn't be painful anymore after you wake up. The difficult part is sleeping not because it hurts but you need eye protection before you sleep to let your eyes heal without you rubbing it accidentally. It's annoying but not painful. After you are fully healed you can enjoy having a brighter vision. I think some side effect is having dry eyes but I never had that so I can't be too sure
I had this 3 months ago and honestly it has been life changing. The procedure is so fast that a you dont even know whats going on.
The longest part is the laser, and depending on your eye prescription it takes anywhere between ~10-60 sec and you are basically done. There is a small recovery period where its kinda unpleasant to open your eyes in brightly lit places, but thay goes away within 1-2 days. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting this, especially if below -3 or more

@@epig_birdy_2112 did you reply to the wrong comment or something?
I've had this surgery about 5 years ago. They made the flap with a laser as well. The procedure was kind of fast, faster than I expected it to be. We were in a room with like 10 others and got numbing eyedrops which in turn we were called into the surgery room one by one.
Once there, the nurse suctions a small plastic cup on your eyeballs to keep it from closing. Then the laser machine comes down, resting on one of the cups. It then makes the flap which took about 10-12 seconds per eye, after which I had to return to the original room with the others until we all had our flaps made.
Finally I was called into the room again in which I had to lie down again where the doctor carefully opens the flap. A different machine rests above your head and you have to keep your eye as still as you can. The machine is fast enough that it won't fuck up your eye if you move but no movement is always better. It took about 7-8 seconds per eye to correct my vision.
After the whole ordeal I get brought to a different room to rest for about 15 min before I could go home, and had to return the next day for a check up.
All in all it was more scary than painful, practically no pain at all aside from some pressure from the machine resting on the cup and a small pinching sensation from making the flap. Aside from seeing the bright red light, there was no sensation from the correctional laser at all.
Best €2.400 I had ever spent in my life, I still see sharp after all these years and I have a lifelong warranty so even if my vision wanes in 10-20 years, I can go back again for free.
The Netherlands btw where I went to a company called 'Visus Oogkliniek' which is the best in my country where they always use the latest available technology or you get a heavy discount if some other company uses newer tech. Even a famous MMA fighter, Rico Verhoeven, got his eyes lasered there a month before his big fight (he got a more expensive surgery which allowed for faster healing to participate in contact sports).

I had to wear dark shades when I left untill I went to sleep. I could see perfectly when I woke up the next day.
The flap healed in about 3 days and healed fully in the span of a year or two in a sense that a doctor wouldn't be able to tell there was a flap(hence the no contact sports for this procedure, but I can now if I want to).
Over the span of 3-4 months I had dry eyes which I had to use specialized eyedrops for I had to get from the pharmacy.

Me too!
@@carysisgreat1677 The movie's great tho.
One of the best 3D movies I've ever watched.
Fun Fact: If you're nearsighted, you will still be nearsighted after LASIK. Unlike farsightedness (which is the irregularities on the lens), nearsightedness is the elongation of the eye ball itself. You may have both, but lasik will only correct the lens, not the elongation.
The surgery itself was painless. Instead I was nervous and my eyeballs felt a lot of pressure. BUT, the pain hits when the numbing eyedrops are gone. Then, my eyeballs felt like they were burning! I couldn't do much about it but cry and drug myself to sleep. 😭 One of my worst nights ever. The benefit of lasik is that you dont have to wear glasses/ contacts but there can be side effects as well. I have intense halos/ glares, especially with night time driving. It was literally impossible to drive at night. 😢
Omg that sounds so bad 😭
One of my friends had a same experience after his Lasik surgery 😮
bro the halo vision is not permanent it goes away after a month , i did the surgery myself and iam perfectly fine, but i have to say it does come back if you stare at a tv or phone screen for a while but its not bad tho.

Why are you saying halo 'was'? Did you treat it somehow?
Any Lasik place worth their salt doesn’t use a physical blade to make an incision in your eye. They use a laser that creates little tiny bubbles at a certain depth and these bubbles form the “cut.” This is much more precise and hygienic than a steel blade. It reduces the likelihood of infection by a significant amount and the eye heals faster.
“Worth their salt”
Isn’t lasik the standard? Meaning if you did it wrong you are seriously fucked and will be investigated?
An extremely fast and easy check online shows that bladed and bladeless LASIK are both their own standard verified procedures with their own benefits and drawbacks.

- getting lasik surgery
- being ANYWHERE near a pool drain

LASIK surgery is a procedure that can improve vision by reshaping the cornea. During the surgery, a laser is used to remove a tiny amount of tissue from the cornea. This helps to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The surgery is quick and painless, with most patients experiencing improved vision almost immediately. Overall, LASIK surgery is a safe and effective way to enhance eyesight for those who are eligible.

Do your research before getting lasik. I got it done and it’s very nice not needing glasses during the day, but I cannot see AT ALL if it’s even mildly dim. My girlfriend has to lead me by the hand through movie theaters. The starburst effect on headlights at night is BRUTAL to the point I have to wear tinted glasses just to feel comfortable driving at night. I actually jumped a curb and hit an island sign that I couldn’t see at all due to a combination of high-beams across the intersection and heavy rain. I also have a very limited cone of sight, meaning I can’t find wall outlets or small details unless I get lucky enough to stare DIRECTLY at it. I have to run my eyes along the lengths of walls or the floor just to find things.
My eyes were bad before, but I definitely don’t think they were THIS bad. I probably wouldn’t have gotten the surgery knowing what I know now.

Got this done a week ago. The surgery itself was 10 mins, 5 mins each eye, then next day I was already seeing 20/20 and according to my doctors it’s only going to get better as my eyes heal. I do experience some mild dry eye but it’s normal, nothing compared to dry eyes due to contacts. I started wearing contact lenses at the age of 12, currently 23, and I couldn’t be anymore happier of not wearing some damn piece of plastic on my eye every single day. I was always so hesitant to get the surgery and for good reasons, glad I waited and got it done by a good doctor and at a good place. Also the surgery was completely painless, shortly after though it started stinging really bad, but as I was advised, I went home and slept for a couple hours because of the Xanax I was given, after my nap my vision wasn’t perfect but I could still see. The following day my vision was already 20/20.

As far as I know, lasik is not used to correct people's irregularly shaped corneas. Its flattening the cornea to direct the light to the right place in the eyeball. There could be many reasons why it doesn't do this naturally, maybe its the shape of the eyeball, or the lens underneath the pupil has gone stiff with age. And that flap doesn't fully heal closed, there's always the risk the flap could reopen again.
It is the shape and size of the eyeball, don't listen to a random youtuber that spreads mild misinformation that got from wikipedia

Due to emmetropization of the eye, your eyeball length may be changing. As a result of that change, light will not hit the retina at the back of the eye correctly causing blurriness of vision in either shorter distances or longer distances, depending on of the light falls in front or behind the retina.
This surgery does not account for eyeball length changes at all and permanently alerts the lens of the eye. If your eyeball length changes after surgery your eyesight will be even worse than it was before you had surgery.

@@Envixity-ph3nbthere’s people that get it but it comes out to be terrible. Go watch whistlin diesels video on getting lasik and you’ll see why it’s somehow better to just stay with glasses
Lasik can be bad because the flap can actually unflap itself from a hard enough impact or if you rub your eyes, and it’s so delicate, you couldn’t just put it back in place like a contact lens. The other way is getting the flap removed entirely during the surgery, then putting soft contact lenses on the eyes for a week until the cornea (flap) grows back. This method is insanely painful throughout the whole week and a lot of pain meds are administered, but well worth the wait and pain.
I’m feeling really visceral watching Zack’s animations these days💀

Fr bro removed the entire part of the eye💀
i can’t wait to get this procedure done once i’m old enough. i’ve had myopia (nearsightedness) since i was 9 and have worn glasses every single day from then on. my vision would deteriorate a lot when i was younger but in recent years it’s stayed more or less the same. although i’m beyond excited to get my vision corrected in the next few years, i’m also a bit upset that i’ll no longer have to wear glasses. it’s definitely gonna take me a long time to get used to, so i honestly see myself getting a pair of non-prescription glasses just to feel like myself for a little longer haha
Yo we're the same, except I've had mine since I was 8 years old. I think I'm not gonna stop wearing glasses even after correcting my vision with this one lol. I most likely will wear the non-prescriptions for all my life, I'm too used to having glasses on my face😆
me too man, I've had both nearsightedness on one eyeand farsightedness on the other since i was 6 (I'm 19 now) and as soon as i get some money saved I'll definitely do the operation (hoping that I'm suitable) and then probably wear non prescription glasses
You’re upset of not wearing glasses?
@@StarMisura yes and no. no, because that means i can see perfectly without frames on my face. but yes, because i’ve had frames for a long time so they hold a bit of nostalgia with me. it’s really gonna take me a longggg time to get used to not wearing glasses every day since i’ve had them for half of my life by now
Non-prescription glasses are simply accessories, you can wear them whenever you'd like! you never have to give up on them! :>
We optometrists don't recommend it
Use clean ways instead ( eg glasses 👓 )
It causes dryness and probably you will wear glasses again .
you don't recommend it because you don't make continuous money from it buddy
@@Ausbals
No, our first duty is the patient not money .
Not all people like you buddy!
@@TaifAlhillawy tell that to the thousands of people who enjoy increased quality of life after lasik. Do you even know how glasses impact literally any sport, and even multiple careers?
What about the thousands of people who have had their eyesight ruined by lasik?
You ain’t no optometrist 😂
Having Lasik was one of the best decisions of my life
bro went from talking about conspiracies to making animations about our 3:00AM thoughts
"Oops, my hand slipped!"
Famous last words
This guy teaches me more in 1 minute than an article online does in 10 minutes. 💀
Did it like 10 years ago. Took 30 seconds from laying down to sitting back up. Have never once regretted it!
If yall dont know, that "flap" that has been cut wont fully heal. Meaning if the eye is scratched then it could open
Brooo that's terrifying
I’m gonna keep my glasses
it does tho thats probably an extreme case
This is bs.
Used to be this way, which is why pilots were disqualified for Lasik, but they weld it back together with the laser
Not really the flap starts healing as soon as the surgery is done, why are you lying?
Just wear glasses, guys.
Side effects that sometimes can happen are cruel, and people have killed themselves over them. Also, you have to do this over and over again.
One side effect includes dry eyes, which are not very pleasent and can sometimes be way too extreme, which is why people commit suicide
Yes! This surgery is horrible!
Man after hearing Whistlinsdiesel's story about this I decided HELL NO on ever getting this done he is literally blind in one eye and in the other he suffers from dry eye as well as he can't be in the sun for long or his eyes start hurting badly. SO I'm just gonna stick with glasses plus I don't really have a problem with glasses like a lot of people do.
@@Titan.Fox56 nothing wrong with glasses!! The medical industry is not designed to benefit you
@@Titan.Fox56 I was looking for a comment like yours that mentioned whistlindiesel
One of the best procedures I've ever underwent
Same! I got mines done 3 years ago and it definitely changes your quality of life. I have no regrets at all.
My father had this surgery, but it was a failure resulting in even worse vision on one eye close to blindness. Technically the documents stated the risks, but the doctor basically said “Don’t worry about it, the chances are basically zero” while applying anaesthesia
Zakiskaphopia is the fear of Zack's animations
Correction:
There is no wrong w your cornea shape, instead, it is your whole eye ball shape that too oval/too plan. Lasik is done by shaving ur cornea shape to mimick a contact lense. Consequently, ur cornea become thinner and more prone to be torn off. Its just a plastic sugery, not to cure your eye problem
No, you can have incorrectly shaped cornea just like incorrect eyeball shape. If a cornea is too rounded, you have nearsightedness if it's too flat, you get farsightedness
So is there a way to change you eyeball shape?
As someone who got lasik vision the experience of getting the surgery is basically a minute of them doing stuff to your eye which is easy to ignore, and then then when they finally put the laser machine over your eye you feel a pressure on your eye and it is pretty damn scary but then it's over pretty fast. The surgery only takes a couple minutes per eye
I’m scared of doing it cause I blink a lot what if the laser gets on my skin or eyelid like
@@goldenhourss Theres gonna be something holding your eyelids......
how much did it cost?
@@H_ystr oh, do they hurt?
Hey I got a question.
During the procedure, even with anesthesia, can you see?
And after they Lazer your eyes, can you see? Or until the anesthesia wear off?
Believe it or not, eye surgeries like these are among some of the earliest surgeries humans perfected
His animations are getting scarier day by day

This surgery is safe, it isn't painful at all
yall say this under everything this isn’t realistic at all
Bro quit yapping
His videos make me realize that medical procedures are just forms of torture but with anesthetic. “This one weird trick the mafia _doesn’t_ want you to know!”
Wdym torture is bad, this would correct my vision for the rest of my life
reminds me of HFY (Humanity F_k Yeah) stories that discuss human surgeries and how theyd seem like creative torture to an alien race that isn't as durable as humans.
Q: Doesn’t it need any kind of medicine or gel to fix the cornea back to the eye ?
A: The epithelium, which covers the outer surface of the cornea, closes the edges of the corneal flap for the first day or two after surgery. During the next few weeks, natural substances inside your cornea connect the corneal flap to the underlying tissue.
I’ve read some comments saying that the flap has a risk to come off
@@shreds08 it usually starts to heal within 2-4 hours after the procedure and takes up to few weeks to fully recover. However, we can’t deny that sometimes(rarely) the corneal flap dislocation or slippage occurs due to rubbing of eyes and forceful blinking.
I had this surgery back in September 2019, I was technically blind without glasses; it's been 4 years now, best decision of my life! The dry eye issue lasted like a month for me.
Double uploads keeping you big as hell
Its a good day when zack uploads 2 videos😊😊
I actually got this surgery, and it was amazing how i could see again. i was dry crying because i was so relieved that after 20 years, i could see just fine again
Using a programmed laser, your eye surgeon reshapes parts of your cornea. With each pulse of the laser beam, a tiny amount of corneal tissue is removed. After reshaping the cornea, the surgeon lays the flap back into place. The flap usually heals without stitches
I was treated with Lasik last year in June.
I used to wear specs since 1999 when i was 6 year old. It was really emotional for me.
The video looks terrifying but it's totally painless and you won't feel a thing. Also, it will take at max 30 sec per eye for treatment.
“Okay sir don’t move. Im gonna point a laser in your eye.”
*The cat notices the laser*
💀😅😅
please don't 😂
The procedure fixes your vision, but it doesnt let you unsee this short
Cutting my eye and blasting it with a laser? Nah, I’ll stick with my clunky ahh glasses for the rest of my life 💀
Every Friday Saturday and Sunday it seems there are two shorts
Final destination anybody 😂😂😂
I had this done. It’s beautiful ❤
I can’t focus on the video 😭
I’m imagining what happened to Taylor’s lasik surgery 😭💀
Fun fact: the cornea name is taking from the arabic word carania القرنية that means somthing like horn because it's curve
Had femto smile lasik surgery to fix my short sightedness and heres how it was:
The more comfortable lasik procedure tends to be the one where they use a laser to cut the corneal flap and then another laser to correct the eye sight. No pain, since they use anesthetic eyedrops and lubricant eyedrops that help you not feel the need to blink or itch your eye, before you go into surgery. Scariest parts is the feeling of pressure on your eye as you briefly go blind (you can see your eye sight fade into black.), since your mind panics when it realises the eye is open and youve really gone blind if only for a short moment.
That and when you feel them peeling the corneal flap back so the laser has access to the eye, as well as peeling it forward back into place, you can feel them do it which is weird lol. Proceedure takes only like 15 mins but including prep is about an hour or 2. After the surgery you get bedrest to let the flap heal. but you may wake up with very itchy eyes (the lubricant eyedrop wearing off) and because of the eye cover you cannot itch it. Doing so could very well damage your eyes very badly.
In other situations, where there is pain or it doesnt make your eyesight good, the surgery has clearly gone wrong. The surgery is meant to be painless and help with your eyesight not the opposite.
Of course at the end of the day people may have different experiences but this one is my experience and i hope it helps! (I understand some people didnt end up having eyedrops or were put under during surgery)
Apparently there's also a version of lasik where no flap is created, also said to be the safest (my dream option lol)
I got PRK (almost exactly like lasik, but they remove the flap completely) a year ago. It has a much longer and more painful recovery than lasik but is now completely worth it. It took about 3 months for me to be able to see normally, but now I can see perfectly even when swimming or just waking up, and my dry eye is gone. No regrets at all
Oh no...

Lasik is like shock therapy. You either get it and it fixes your life so you go tell everyone how great it is, or completely destroys it and lives you a disabled person
