Laser Eye Surgery UK

I’m looking to get laser eye surgery because my eyes are bad and I’m sick of glasses. When I lose them I need I need them to find them. Also I think it will be for the best and plus many people say i look better without them anyway. My benefits will only cover $225 of it. So I was wondering how much is it so I know what I’m looking to spend.

Well it will really depend where you go, how bad your eyes are, and that clinic’s rates.

For me, I had the surgery almost 3 years ago and from start to finish, it was about $3000 with all the pre- and post- examinations, as well as the surgery of course.

Now you do need to keep in mind that there are many things that need to be checked to make sure you are a candidate for LASIK eye surgery in the first place. Your vision needs to have been stable for a few years (no prescription changes), you cannot have any eye diseases (like keratoconus), your cornea must be thick enough, and other things like this that they will check in an eye evaulation for surgery.

Also, LASIK does NOT fix the need for reading glasses. If you already are old enough where you must have reading glasses to see at near (age 40 or older), LASIK is not for you. And when you get to be that age, you will need reading glasses to read regardless if you had LASIK in the past.

Just another idea to throw out there: Have you considered contact lenses? This is another option you can try without going to permanent surgery route. In fact, they make many contact lenses that can actually be worn continuously for 30 days. That means, you put a new pair of contact lenses in on the 1st of the month and then don’t touch them until you put a new pair in at the 1st of the next month! (Yes, that means you sleep in them and wear them 24/7) So continuous wear contact lenses like that are actually just about the same as surgery … but without! It is certainly something you can ask your eye doctor about.

I had Lasik surgery on Tuesday morning, And still my vision is not 100%. Is this normal? Is it something I that will just improve over time? I’ve been taking the drops and doing everything according to the instructions.

it could improve over time, yes. you could need an enhancement later…you wont know for quite some time.

MOST people are 100% or very close by day 3. but if you’re not…you still could be. no guarantees, of course

I have a small prescription of -1.75 in both of my eyes and I have astigmatism in both as well. However, in my left eye I have lenticular astigmatism instead of regular astigmatism. As a result, contact lenses are hard to fit because of the lack of soft front surface toric lenses available. My question is, with my eyes am I still able to have laser eye surgery done (Lasik, PRK, etc.)? Thanks

It always seem like a less than elegant solution to take care of the astigmatism in your lens by giving you astigmatism in your cornea, but it is possible. If you ever have cataract surgery, it may come back to bite you. I don’t think it really matters whether your astigmatism is in your lens or cornea for most modern soft toric lenses.

Ive just had an offer of £1880 to have the best laser eye surgery from optimax. Being uneducated on this subject im slightly confused on weather this is a good deal or not. Could anyone help me out please?

I think thats a pretty good deal to say that i paid more than double that ! However i would look at other clinics to see if you could do even better.
