I undergo a LASIK …
I undergo a LASIK operation under Dr. Noel Lacsamana of Int’l Eye Center in Pampanga, Philippines last Nov. 19, 2006. My vision is back to 20/20. No side effect. Very successful.Now, I have been a champion sports gun shooter and a member of a dart club. LASIK is true. No pain. It took 15 mins on both eyes. I trust my doctor. I believe am in good hands. The Lord guides. Dr. Lacsamana is a good doctor. Maybe the best LASIK operator in the whole world! If you need him, contact him at +639209099937.

Well, 2 1/2 years …
Well, 2 1/2 years later my vision is still perfect so I’m extremely happy. I use eyedrops in the morning, but other than that I don’t have any problems with dry eye at all. Overall I would have the procedure again and I recommend it to anyone who wears glasses and contacts. Just make sure you do some homework and research the doctor you are considering going to. That’s what I did.

by the way several years ago a disgruntled lasik patient in st. louis shot his doctor and chased the assistant all over the facility and shot that person as well. both of the wounded lived.

If you knew and …
If you knew and could comprehend what I know, you would not be lying to patients every day NOT MENTIONING the FLAP NEVER HEALS, DRY EYE SYNDROME IS GUARANTEED, THEIR CORNEA BECOMES IRREGULAR MAKING IT 5 TIMES HARDER TO FIT FOR CONTACTS OR GLASSES AND ABOUT 10 TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE. I’m sure you also explain the INFORMED CONSENT that protects the doctor even if he makes a mistake, and does NOT protect the hurt patient.

also, my “boss” did not attend a weekend seminar. he studied at the bascom palmer eye institute in FL and before he did lasik, he did cataract surgery and complete cornea transplants. he has done over 400 successful lasik procedures. Sadly, there are lasik centers out there like you describe. we are not one of them. quit saying that i need to get “educated.” i know more about lasik than you EVER EVER EVER will. so put up or shut up.

I NEVER lie to a …
I NEVER lie to a patient - every patient that we perform surgery on knows that their corneas will have flaps that are only secured by the epithelium and they are fully educated about what risks they are taking. only incompetent surgeons and lasik centers do what you are describing. i fortunately, do not work for an incompetent surgeon and the surgeon i work under will NEVER do lasik on a patient where the risks outweigh the benefits. do not assume that ALL lasik centers are unskilled.

Wow you sound like …
Wow you sound like you know more than your boss who took a weekend seminar and by Monday started creating flaps that NEVER HEAL in innocent victim’s corneas. My question now is what you are doing for the ones that you have ruined and made mistakes on? How many times a day do you lie to patients and tell them that “it was their eyes that healed differently,” when you know the procedure just ruined their vision? Kindly get educated, then we can chat further. Don’t believe everything your fed.

lol, better educate myself? like i said before, i’m a lasik scrub tech. i live and breathe lasik every day. how much “better educated” can i get? i am seriously ROFL at you.

the name is EVEfreak. not eyefreak. Duh. if a patient has dry eyes after lasik, they can use rehydrating drops and punctal plugs. yes dry eyes are a side effect, but for someone with 12 diopters of prescription, the side effects might be worth it. and FYI i’m a lasik consultant and scrub tech - what are you? some random person who comments on surgical procedures you know nothing about? come on…

EyeFreak, your name …
EyeFreak, your name says it all…Why don’t you try educating yourself on Dry Eye Syndrome so that you are better able to have this discussion. Dry Eyes is the number one complaint of all lasik surgeries, and lying lasik doctors aren’t taking the time to explain the importance of having 80% of your corneal nerves destroyed and the effect of “lack of tear production” that has on what used to be a normal set of corneas.

your eyes don’t …
your eyes don’t change in 4 years unless you’re presbyopic. if you are, lasik will still correct myopia and you’ll only need reading glasses. Other than presbyopia, your eyes CAN’T change dramatically in 4 years because the laser ablates the STROMAL bed of the cornea - the part that does NOT regenerate. let me guess dkantis, you probably don’t even know what presbyopia is let alone stromal bed and microns. shut up and get a clue.

You don’t actually …
You don’t actually see a blade coming at you. I was worried about that before hand too. They put a suction ring around your eye to keep it steady and then they place the microkeratome (blade) into the suction ring. So at that point you see darkness, it’s as if you had something covering your eye. Darkness. It only lasts 5 seconds or so. Not a big deal at all. The suction on the eye is the only thing you actually feel.

I hope you explain …
I hope you explain to your patients the truths about Lasik like the flap never heals, the chance for dry eye exponentially grows, and that in 4 years when the eye changes, what happens then mr/mrs patient? Doctors, stop spending so much time on swiping patients credit cards for $4,000 a pop, and start finding some integrity and be righteous!

The flap NEVER …
The flap NEVER heals. Ask your optometrist if they have patients who’ve had lasik a few years ago now coming back for glasses or contacts. If he’s honest, he’ll tell you that they are coming back. The blasted tissue is gone forever, but your eyes keep changing as you age, so the correction doesn’t last forever. The cornea is weakened forever….

I hope that lasik technicians like Nick Caro, that sold their souls to the Devil are enjoying their heaven on Earth…They all know that if they informed honest consent to each and every patient telling the truths about the flap never healing, the problems under the flap, and severe dry eye which is incurrable, no one would ever get lasik…so they go ahead making $4,000 form idiots like me willing to pay greedy Devils to take a used razor and slice and dice my only set of eyes…

Do you mean the little white ring inside the pupil? I think that’s just a reflection of the ring light on the Lasik device.

First off, they put a clamp on your eye. You’d have to jump out of your chair. Second, it’s really, really fast. I had horrid vision, and it took about 8 seconds. Most people will take 2-4 seconds. There’s something about “paralyzed with fear of moving and screwing it up” that makes you sit really, really still.

I had the “no touch” procedure (my video isn’t as detailed though). The first time I healed too fast, so they melted off the top layer and started over. If I had a flap, I’d be pretty nervous. As it turns out, I my pupils dilate really large, so my night vision isn’t too great. I don’t think either procedure would have helped that.

This is really …
This is really interesting. But how does anybody sit still through this procedure? My survival instincts would never allow anybody to cut into my eye like that. Numbing drops? They’d need to numb my brain. If I see a knife come at my eye, I don’t care if it hurts or not. My instincts are not going to allow me to sit still and let it happen. Somebody please explain that part of it to me.
