I had a coworker who had lasik. About a year later, she got a paper cut on her cornea, (for real, she took a piece of paper off of a copy machine and it nicked her eyeball) across the lasik flap. It was extremely painful, messed up her vision for maybe a month, had to have eye surgery to fix it. It sounded horrific, but I asked her later and she has no regrets on getting lasik.
I have a cousin who is an opthamologist and he is totally against any laser surgery or even contacts, and the same with other opthamologists as well. He says to just wear glasses.
- mustafa_pasi 5y agoDo you know what particular objections he had against contacts?
- idoh 5y agoProblems with contacts causing infections.
- amerkhalid 5y agoA few years ago, I really wanted do LASIK but learned it is still not 100% safe. Did not made sense to me to take unnecessary risk, however small, for sake of appearance and convenience. I spoke with my doctor and he said that he knew a few people who have issues with their vision after LASIK. He was of same opinion that surgery on eyes should be avoided at all cost.
