re: Anyone here ever get Lasik?

Did it last year. I used dr. Woo. She's one of the best in Baton Rouge. Don't go cheap. I paid $2399 total.

OT Baller status revoked. You do not go cheap when it comes to your vision.

Second and third the votes for Dr. Woo. She is aces. She always gets mad at me in my annual checkup because I still don't need glasses and I'm several years older than her.

Best money I ever spent !!

Provided your eyesight was stable when you get the surgery, it should last your entire lifetime. The myth is that LASIK corrects farsightedness. It doesn't do that, and farsighteness usually strikes later in life.

Lots of fail in this post.

There's really no way of predicting how long LASIK will last. If your prescription changes from year to year, there's a good chance it'll keep changing after LASIK. The surgery reshapes your cornea to get you seeing clearly at that point in time, but it doesn't do anything to stabilize refractive changes. You should have a stable prescription for at least a year before having any sort of refractive surgery.

And LASIK can absolutely correct farsightedness. It's not quite as predictable as myopic LASIK, but it can be done. You're thinking of presbyopia, the inability for adults over 40-45 to see up close.

I am going the end of april. It will be 4100. It will last until mid 40's usually when you will have to start using readers

Had it this morning from Dr Woo. Can already say best decision ever. Surgery was easy, all you have to do is relax, not move, and stare into light. She already cleared me to drive and go back to work tomorrow.
