^^^
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.

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.

2005, in American eye center in Shang. costs Php65k then. vision is 20/15 - 20/20.
it is pretty safe, my doctor told me before complications usually arise not from the surgery but during the healing process when you rub your eyes forcefully. you see, they will cut a flap in the cornea before you have the lasik. the lasik itself is not painful but they have to cut the cornea.
the operation lasts about 5min lang, they will put a contraption that will secure your eyelids so you will not be able to blink. you will experience extreme itchiness after the operation and make sure you do not scratch your eyes kasi yung cornea is still not fully healed and may dislodge out of place.
yung paglabo ng mata is caused by the elongation of the eye globe. i think better if you do the operation mid20's or early thirties since hindi na masyado nag elongate yung globe natin. this will be explained to you when you have the check up
side effects now..drying of eyes sometimes, starburst lights, poor night vision. they gave me a video of my surgery hehe parang horror movie, made me flinch when i watched it haha
