lasik eye surgery is not suitable for everyone with
eyesight problems. you will need to go for an evaluation to find out if you are able to have it. for example, the procedure involves holding your eye open and steady without any movement (you will have to stare at a light) for 2-3 minutes or longer. this is while the laser cuts layers off your eye lens. if you move your eye during while this is happening, you may be left with eyesight that is worse than before you had the procedure. there are other factors to consider, so you should visit a eye specialist for an evaluation. on the other hand if everything goes well, it is almost as good as having perfect vision but it will take some time to heal and improve. so dont give up hope. just be careful.
Sounds pretty dangerous... do you really have to keep your eyes open and stare into a light for 2-3 mins? Do they put some thing in your eye first? I can't even keep my eyes open for 30 seconds without dust going in them and making me blink! Personally I would never get it done, there's always a risk of you going blind instead of getting "perfect vision". Anyway, if you do decide to give it a try best of luck with that, make sure you make the right decision and get all the information you need from proffessionals!
there's actually another very safe alternative to lasik that i read about. and it's eye exersizes. there are specialists and books that tell you how to do this. basically it makes your eyesite much better without the use of glasses or surgury.
there's only one complaint that i hear about and it's that people have to keep spending lots of money to get glasses that aren't as strong like every month. so, yea that's something to consider/ . here's a really good site that gives more info http://www.rebuildyourvision.com
Id keep the glasses.

Maybe those eye exersises would be better and not to mention cheaper if you use it when your eyesight gets worse so then you don't have to keep buying a stronger pair of glasses you could just stay the same - unless you can afford to buy a new pair every month 
I've seen on the news where laser eye surgery has gone terribly wrong. Some people have ended up with double vision, blurred vision, and other problems. Once it is done, it cannot be reveresed or fixed (from what they said but maybe different now?).
Basically, they give you a local pain killer and they actually have a device that keeps your eye open. Also note that you are fully awake for the entire procedure. Once your eye feels no pain, they actually take a knife (scalpel) and slice the top layer of your eye to make a flap. Then the laser is used to permanently burn your retina. After that, the flap is placed back over your eye. You have to keep the eye moist with drops and most people recover within days. Honestly, I would keep the glasses. I think women look sexier with glasses anyway.
1 of my fren went for lasik eye surgery .. it's ok .. but the eye sight problem will come back again .. he';s again wearing a spec after half a year !
but i'll keep my spec .. coz i think i look cooler with my spec 
if i am not wrong, its not your retina
that gets lasered, but the lens of the eye. you get to see it being done quite alot on these reality shows like 'Swan" and 'Extreme Makeover'. they of course always show it being successful. but that may not be the whole truth!
On MTV the Newleyweds with Nick and Jessica Simpson. Jessica goes to get lacik i surgery. And with a person with that kind of mind spand can get eye surgery than you can do it too. She was brave and she got through fine. Although your eyes will be sensitive to the eyes for a few days or one day.

Lasik is pretty good now.
Although I'm not a fan of lasik or any artificial vision correction, especially surgical, I would say that Lasik is not that bad. Most of the surgeries are successfull, people do see MUCH better than before, but most of them have some side effects. The eye exercises are very good too, but they require lot's of work and will power. I am a student of natural vision improvement and I want to be an optometrist too. I studied some cases when people needed corrections after lasik after some times (usually more than two years after the surgey), but I've met only one person that needed stronger corrections 4 after the surgery (He had only -2 before). This person went to natural eyesight treatment and after a year went back to -1, wearing them only for driving. So lasik is not bad, and remember that you can always go to the natural healling after it anyway... I would say...Go for it! Good luck! Eli.
lasik?
Lasik Eye Surgery Before I had my treatment with [url=http://www.My2020.Com]Dr. Wiles at Lasik-1[/url], I had trouble seeing clearly even with my glasses on. Now I can see my alarm clock without holding it in front of my face and I can see road signs without squinting. I don�t hate driving at night anymore. My life is so much better now; I only wish I had gone to Lasik-1 sooner! Thank you for helping me see what I�ve been missing!" -reply by rockwell25
Anyone know the ratio sucessful and failed surgery? After reading about how it can go bad I'm having second thoughts about getting it done anytime soon.
LASIK-1 was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I am a mother of a 3 year old and a 1 year old and that means a lot of waking up in the middle of the night. This translated to sleeping in my contacts so that I could see what I was doing when I had to check on my kids; after 20 years, it was starting to take a toll on the health of my eyes. Dr. Wiles is so informative and has such a calm demeanor; he put me at ease even though I was nervous about the procedure. He went through all of the steps involved in the treatment so that I knew exactly what to expect. I appreciate everything he has done to make my vision what it is today. I can now see 20/20 with no help."
hi there, are you not thinking for another option like Lasik? Actually i also suffer 20 years of wearing thick glasses but last year i decided to undergo lasik and the outcome to me was amazing. I never expect that im gonna put my thick glass in the box, my vision now is 20/20 and i feel great about it. Just try to check www.my2020.com if you want to know more about lasik..God Bless you..
