BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Vision Issues Lasik Eye Surgery

Has anyone had this procedure done? I have found information on it but I am interested in all of your thoughts.

LASIK stands for Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, a common type of refractive eye surgery. In short, LASIK changes the way your eye refracts light. As light rays enter your eye, your cornea refracts -- bends back -- the rays to focus them on your retina, which is the back part of the eye.

During LASIK surgery your cornea is cut and reshaped. A special device is utilized which will cut a hinged flap of thin corneal tissue off the cornea and the flap is lifted out of the way. The laser reshapes the corneal tissue, and the surgeon replaces the flap, which immediately sticks to the eyeball. Because laser is used, there are no stitches. A perforated metal or plastic shield is placed over the eye to protect the flap.

I had Lasik surgery 6 months ago with my2020 and it's successful. No more headaches and glasses for me.

I suffered for almost 16 years of my life having a hard time to see and wearing those thick glasses that made me like a 50 years old loser. I had my astigmatism when I was young (back in my adolescent�s stage) then last year I decided to be free, free from glasses and contacts that�s been part of me for almost 16 years. Im sick and tired of having a limitation in all things that I do, especially with my favorite sports and doing some stuff, my Astigmatism was really a hindrance to me not only in my passion but in my work, So last year as a thanks giving gift to myself I fly to Kansas to have a Lasik exam in my2020 to determine if im a good candidate and fortunately I was. Right now I can say that im in the process of healing the side effects of it (and its normal) and I feel good and great about myself not wearing those contacts and glasses anymore. Its nice to live like a normal being.

Laser Eye Surgery and Refractive surgery are commonly used as if they were interchangeable, this is not the case. Lasers may be used to treat non refractive conditions while radial keratotomy is an example of refractive surgery without the use of a laser. ______________ [url=http://www.columbuslaser.com/laser-eye-surgery-hilliard-ohio.shtml]laser Eye Surgeon Hilliard, OH[/url]
