Anyone have LASIK recently?

Had it last year. Life changing. Highly recommend it.

Get a free consultation and see if you are a candidate.

My wife also got it last year and we flew to Philly the next day.

I went skeet shooting the day after I got it.

Fay Woo at EMC in BR is GOAT. $3300 for all pre-op appointments, custom lasik (bladeless with wavefront) procedure, and a year of follow-ups/touch-ups (unlikely). Woo won't operate on you unless she's 99.99% sure you will have perfect results. had slight astigmatism fwiw.

had my surgery at 9am, went home and took nap, went to LSU baseball game that night. I could never read the names on the lineups from our suite before, but when I walked in that night, it's like everyone's name was in bold 4K HD. unreal. never had any of the starbursts or side effects people whine about, best money ever spent.

i'd feel totally comfortable recommending you to come to BR for her. she's the best in the state and several people at the office said she has people come from all over the country to have her do their shite. would just suck for you to come to BR twice

im sure Houston has some studs too

I have astigmatism...have worn glasses since kindergarten

I’ve got an appt this afternoon Eye Surgery center on Old Hammond

I’m probably going to have lens replacement surgery or LASIK, whatever they recommend. I’m ready to be done with glasses permanently

My recent prescription says

Sphere cylinder axis
OD +4.75. -1.25. 175
OS +4.25. -1.00. 005

Whatever that means


I guess I hope lasik is an option since it’s much less expensive than lens replacement, but I’m prepared to do it either way

Best decision I have ever made. Had it done in 2013 and still see 20/20. It was right at $2200 plus post op eye drops, which were about $200. My doc gave a discount to people in the medical profession, so it saved me about $200.

Most people i know who’ve had LASIK say that it was life changing, and the best money they ever spent.. but i know a handful of people who had major issues, had to have it redone and a couple who had halos, blurry night vision and never quite got back to normal.

Also, there have been stories in the news recently about people who’ve committed suicide due to botched LASIK (and other similar) eye surgeries.. the newscaster chick in Michigan, and a guy who was a self-made millionaire, had LASIK 20 yrs ago and never recovered.

I’m not trying to discourage anyone, but as a lifetime glasses/contacts wearer with astigmatism who thought for years that i’d eventually have LASIK done, i’ve decided not to do it since , with my kinda luck, i’d be part of the tiny percentage that have problems.. but of course there’s risk with anything in life, so your mileage may vary.

I had -5 eyes and astigmatism and haven’t really have many problems to speak of. The only side effects I have had (I’m about 16 months out), is some issues with migraines, and my night vision has gotten pretty bad, especially when I’m tired.

There’s a lot of starbursts from bright lights
