I had it done and I'm very pleased with the results! No complications. Do your research and find and experienced well respected surgeon.

Yes, it is subtle twist in the promoted educational video above. There hasn't been nearly enough time to determine an association btwn LASIK and eye cancer later in life, though it is highly suspected to be a component cause. Some patients may find that the surgery is worth the risk, and have gone ahead with the surgery. Depending on the level or urgency, I strongly advise to wait for technology to develope a few years, before attempting LASIK. Planning with research is favourable over rushing.

The last line of the video is best: "There is no risk in choosing NOT to have the surgery." Eye cancer linked to LASIK, Jenny? - interesting. A little early to tell, but exposing the eye directly to the laser's intense ultraviolet radiation might be a contributing factor. Does not seem very wise.

Also noted that it was keratomileusis that was used in the 1950s, However it was not till 1968, that Excimer Laser was developed and LASIK surgery was later accepted as a practise in the 1990, merging both keratomileusis and photorefractive keratectomy. Respectively, there is less than 2 decades worth or medical reports, and not nearly enough time for epidemiological correlation. With time, technology will improve. Meanwhile, the decision, to trust laser technology knowing the risk, is your own.

Again point taken. :) I'm not, I repeat, I am not attempting to discourage people from taking Lasik! I am just pointing out that therein lies the possibility of complications after surgery, ie:Debris,growth under flaps,PVD,macula etc. Developing eye disambiguation is solely one of the more advance and attention drawing symptons. If Wikipedia sources are correct:The incidence of refractive surgery patients having unresolved complications six months after surgery has been estimated from 3% to 6%.

I am unable to find a single reputable source online that indicated Lasik = eye cancer in later life. Since lasik was developed in 1950, and the technology has constantly evolved and improved, you can't make a blanket statement like that.

Having any medical procedure in its infancy is risky. Less so after almost 60 years of refinment. I'm sure the chances of a heavy smoker getting lung cancer are FAR higher than a Lasik patient getting eye cancer.

I've not seen any information about Lasik causing eye cancer. In the UK, per year, there are around 450 diagnosed cases of eye cancer. What that means is, out of 500 cancers diagnosed, 1, is eye cancer.

All I'm saying is that technology for lasik has yet to advance to a stage where it can be considered having a reasonable risk-free effect. If you have read some medical journals, you would come to realise that some patients develope eye cancer later in life after having the surgery. That's a far cry from taking a chance in an airplane. But, point taken. :)

Obviously EVERYTHING you do in life is at your own risk. Do you choose to fly to see relatives? Thats a risk you take. As is driving. Or walking. Don't get so caught up with all these risks. Life is a risk.

".. and there are no risk in choosing NOT to have the surgery."

Truth is, there is always the risk of developing cancer later in life.

Lasik at your own risk. :(

check in mexico or in cuba is te same machine, ,most of doctors were triened in northamerica or europe. global trade

What a bunch of BS. Who sponsored this "educational video"?

i got this now i cant fly my plane 2 work DAMN U LASIK

But, what if, a patient takes the LAW into their own hands, now ruined and suicidal feeling there is nothing to live for? Doesn't this create an "x" factor for the Lying LASIK Doctors to think about? Does safety now come before money for once? Only time will tell. Basically, the Lying LASIK Doctors have lied in order to save a lawsuit, while pushing the patient past the Statute of Limitations to sue them which is about 2 years usually, all while ruining his patient's eyesight and life.

The FDA called an EMERGENCY PANEL DISCUSSION on LASIK Surgery: April 25th, 2008. Google LASIK FDA. The FDA knows there is something wrong and has estimated about 600,000+ Americans permanently damaged from LASIK. How does this effect you and I? Hurt Patients driving your kids school buses, driving trains, flying your plane, operating your balance sheets, etc...Do you get how it effects you now? Don't do LASIK and risk your eyesight. Many patients have committed suicide. You may be next.

Lasik S**ks .

yes

is this done while your awake

They use this razor thing and slice the protectice layer off. Then they burn your eye with a laser so that it is the right shape then they put the layer back.

man thats horrible,im sorry :(

Yeah, Lots of people complaints, that after laser surgery their vision was ruined.
Basically lots of money drained into "nowhere".

Imagine, two Eyes, 1500$*2=3000$.. just for a safe test... Will it work, or would not, well, it depends ;)

Cheers,
and really, don't run to those Clinics for an operation after you heard that it is possible.
