What happens if you blink your eyes during lasik eye surgery?

Posted on 28th August 2010 by admin in lasik

I’m always hearing that you’re not supposed to blink during lasik eye surgery and I want to know why.

They keep that from happening. Do you see a lot of people with laser scars on their eyelids? No. So don’t worry.

Recommended Place for laser Eye Surgery in Auckland New Zealand?

Posted on 18th August 2010 by admin in laser eye surgery uk

My eye’s are really beginning to bother me…I was prescribed glasses around 2 years ago now due to short sightedness, basically I can’t focus properly on distant objects, causing me to feel very tired and sometimes have very blurred vision if focusing into the distance..

Now admittedly I never really took to wearing the glasses full time and hardly ever feel comfortable wearing them. I was thinking about getting contact lenses as I realise how much it is now effecting my life, when a friend recommended to look into having ‘the zap’ as in the long run it will be a lot more better not having to get used to wearing and the pricing of constantlyy buying lenses..

Just wondered if anyone could recommend anywhere plus give a rough price on how much it is?…plus im actually from the UK originally, and could get it done over there so was wondering would it be any cheaper?

Any advice what so ever would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

Highly recommended is LASIK . The eye institute in Auckland, it is the best clinic in NZ and always has recent technology and an advanced laser. They have all the usual payment plans. Ask around about their reputation.

Anywhere in UK which will do laser eye surgery on somebody with nystagmus?

Posted on 15th August 2010 by admin in laser eye surgery uk

I already know that there is nothing that can be done for my nystagmus at this time, which really kinda sucks. However I wanted to look at getting my numerous other eye problems fixed if anything to alleviate some of the difficulties, so I only have to deal with the nystagmus.

The other eye problems I have are photophobia, myopia and occular albenism (the cause of the nystagmus no doubt)

I know of those the only one laser surgery could fix is the myopia. I’m really just hoping for a difference, any tiny difference woudl be good.

So yeah, if anyone knows of anywhere in the UK which would do it, please feel free to lemme know.

Try contacting the London Vision Clinic.

On their FAQ page, they said laser eye surgery can be performed if you have nystagmus. As they note, it may not treat the condition but will lessen the symptoms.

Here is the Contact US link for the Clinic: http://www.londonvisionclinic.com/contact-us

Good luck!

What is the real problem with teens with lasik?

Posted on 10th August 2010 by admin in lasik

Hi so the problem with teens getting lasik is that they’ll need to get it again since their corneas might not be done developing, but can’t they just get lasik twice? What’s the big deal with teens getting lasik, why is it only restricted to adults if that’s the only problem it poses to teens?

The doctor wants to make sure your eyes are stable before doing lasik, which usually happens in the early 20’s. This was a helpful article about the procedure.

I’m thinkiing about having laser eye surgery has anyone had any experiences good or bad?

Posted on 6th August 2010 by admin in laser eye surgery

I’m, thinking about havimj laser eye syrgery at some time in the future, I’ve had an assessmrnt and have been told that I cam have the procedure, does anuone have any experience that they can share with me-is it safe or not does it hurt or not? I’ve been told its safe by certain people but they’re usually the ones selling the surgery. Some one from the medical profession’s advice would be great, but all contributions welcome.

I haven’t had laser surgery but I know many people that have.

The surgeons put special eye drops in your eye that make you unable to feel any pain so the procedure is painless.

Some of my friends that got lasik done say that they actually ended up with better vision than they ever had with glasses or contacts. However the downside is that when you reach around age 40 you will most likely need reading glasses.

You must have a stable prescription of at least 2years before you do lasik otherwise your vision could get worse again.
