Restoring Eye Vision

[OTEP]

Madaming Ophthalmologist sa paligid. Pacheck mo na. A consult wouldn't hurt.

Had it done more than 10 years ago.

Vision before was 400, after surgery it was 20/20 and after a few months went to 75-100 and stayed there.

It's generally safe as long as you do not have diabetes and/or similar conditions that affect eyesight (like pregnancy).

Side effect was glaring vision at night but only for a few weeks, now it's normal.

It's just a 10-15 minute surgery, no pain, no discomfort, was required to sleep for at least 6 hours after surgery so they eyes could rest. Maybe recovery is quicker now.

In my case, 20/20 after surgery and went to grade 75-100.

Surgery is not recommended for below 20 years old (I think) since the vision is still adjusting / degrading.

Didn't have dry eyes after surgery so it's probably case to case. Poor night vision, well, I've had poor night vision before surgery so can't comment on that.

Better wait until your 30 or when your vision has stabilized. Most people who opt for LASIK have grades of 400 and above.

You don't feel nor see much during operation even while your cornea is being sliced. You'll just smell what seems like squid being grilled while your eye is being lasered. It's much more painful to go to the dentist.

the lasik itself, wala. painless yun. except the cutting of the cornea, but as Walter has said, pain is not acute, more on irritation lang

Magkano price ng LASIK sa St. Lukes?

Ballpark figure is 50-60T for both eyes.

try mo din ask sa Asian Eye Institute (rockwell center and trinoma) and American Eye Center (shangrila and greenbelt). sa American Eye Center Shangrila nagpa-lasik ang mother ko, P25k both eyes but it was almost 5 years ago, could be double now.
