Oh right, My mate had the Lasik treatment and he had very little discomfort, he said it just felt like a little pressure ache on his eye's, But mine are actually stinging pretty bad at the moment, he said it all went perfectly though so must just be normal thing for this type of treatment,

Results already are awesome!

Originally it was going to be £2k for both eyes but i couldn't have Lasik as my prescription is borderline for that treatment, so had to have Lasek which is £700 more unfortunately,

I know alot of people say it's really expensive but when you think it's going to be for the rest of your life i think it's more then reasonable

i heard that after 5 years or so, it can start to go downhill?

[Raz]

I want it done. Need funds.

[Scott-EP]

They never said that to me,

All the said is when you get around your late 40's to early 50's you may need another procedure that acts as a reading glasses prescription

I want it done. Need funds.

They do monthly interest free finance for it mate

i wanted to do it but had doubts so still havent had it done. how long has this treatment been out, like what are the effects after 20-25 years

[Scott-EP]

Well he said to me its permanent, the only thing is that when you get older your short vision starts to become worse it does even with people that have naturally good eye sight but he said your long vision shouldn't be affected

And with ultra lase they give live time guarantee so if your eye sights get worse you can get and get the treatment done again free of charge

I've been wanting to get this done, but would have to wait until I'm out of uni and in a job to save up for it.

[Asad]

Heard it lasts around 10years, I want it done too but fuk that if something goes wrong it's your eyes not the guy who's doing it can ruin your life if any complications occur just read some of the horror storys on the net

[Scott-EP]

haha I watched loads of videos before getting it done were they had been done wrong lol

I used to work in an opticians, and have some experience in a Laser Surgery Clinic.

The effects are permenant, but the results of the proceedure depend on how much you pay. The cheapest treatments may result in you seeing some floaters/stars in your vision sometimes, but obviously the more you pay the better the results and crisper the vision.

When you hit your 40s/50s, you tend to lose the elasticity in the crystalline lens of your eye, meaning it's more difficult to focus on near objects, so you will need reading glasses regardless!

I reckon it definitely works out over the years, if you have to keep buying glasses and contacts lenses, and then there's no hassle with this either! I'm gonna get it done one day

Were you surprised by how little time it took?

Does smell weird though when they run the laser doesn't it?

[addz]

Shoot me, but that an earth is it all about?

I am guessing something that replaces specs

[Amjad]

Remodelling of the corneal tissue to cancel out the need for specs yeah

[Dan507]

thought about having this done also but im not long or short seighted i have a lazy eye, my left eye goes slightly towards my nose causing blury vison and i dont think they can cure that, also i have been wearing glasses since i was 6 and with out them i feel naked and i look like a gimp with out them

[addz]

Sounds sore and expensive - I'll stick to specs lol

I was too longer to set the machine up, n yes it does I thought smells like burning hair...no wait its my eye lol

[Scott-EP]

I took 8 parts done on my right eye and 4 parts on my left eye.. But i kept moving my eye a few times so kept wasting time haha.. I'm glad the laser automatically cuts out if you move your eye to far out of position otherwise I'd be abit screwed haha

Yeah the burning smell was abit wierd.. I was like huh is this normal haha

[SiCaln]

it also sounded like a pile-driver over my head, I didn't dare look away once lol

[Arnold]

I've considered it so many times, still doing so. My friend had it done and she still has some discomfort 8 months on, but she said the results are incredible. It can take up to a year. As long as you take the eye drops and go to the after care appointments then you should be ok!
